The King of the bush and the top of the food chain. Lions are mostly active at night. Their eyesight at low lights is superb and gives them an advantage to hunt at night. That is why lions often sleep during the day and people call them lazy animals.

Leopards are the most elusive of the Big 5 and many safari tourists don’t get to see one at all. To me, they are absolutely magical and I have been truly blessed with leopard sightings.

Elephants are the biggest of the Big 5 and they live the longest. They live until 70 years old in the wild and usually die from starvation. When their last set of teeth wears out they are not able to process enough food for their huge body anymore.

Buffalos are pure muscle. To lions they are equally tasty as they are dangerous to them. The horns of a male buffalo become very thick and strong. They would easily deflect a bullet.
