Possible sightings include elephants, lions, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, crocodiles, cheetahs, leopards and rhinos.

Can I see the Big Five?

The wider route supports all Big Five species, but sightings—particularly rhinos and leopards—cannot be guaranteed during a four-day safari.
