Big Five parks and reserves
Parks and private reserves that hold lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino, with the stays closest to each.
All five of the Big Five live in each of these parks and reserves. That is a statement about the population, never a promise about a single drive: sightings depend on season, water, luck and a good guide.
