5 Days 4 Nights Big Five Safari Kenya
On a Kenya Safari in Tsavo you'll see large herds of Red elephants - not caused by too many Kenyan Tusker Beers, but by the thin red dust found in Tsavo. There are interesting geographical features in Tsavo, including the Lugard Falls and the Mzima Springs, where an underwater observatory allows you to view the hippo, barbels and crocodiles. Mount Kilimanjaro dominates the western horizon and is a spectacular sight from across the plains.
BUFFALO
When you start researching an Kenyan safari, the term "Big Five" often crops up. The "Big 5" refers to the African: lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo. Why not the hippo,gorilla or giraffe you may ask? Are they not large as well? How about the cheetah -- that would be an animal you would probably like to see as much as a buffalo. Well, the term "big five" was actually coined by big game hunters (not safari tour operators). It refers to the difficulty in bagging these large animals, mostly due to their ferocity when cornered and shot at.
Here is a Program which visits Locations where Big Five Animals Are found.
A Tsavo Safari is the ideal destination for people who seek solitude and privacy as well as the chance to explore the wilderness. With its proximity to Mombasa it is also an ideal safari for those staying on the coast.
