We all know about Africa''s Big 5 - but on your next South African safari why not set yourself the goal of viewing the far harder to spot Little 5?
If you''ve forgotten, the Big 5 are
- Cape buffalo
- African elephant
- leopard
- lion
- rhino (black or white)
The world renowned Kruger is the ideal reserve for going on a Little 5 hunt.
These are:
- buffalo weaver
- elephant shrew
- leopard tortoise
- ant lion
- rhino beetle
See what they did there? Cute hey!
Over the next 5 weeks we''ll be looking at each of the South African Little 5 one by one.
