Big Five Safaris

Lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo — track Africa's most iconic wildlife across the continent's finest reserves

Wildlife & The Big Five

Africa's Most Iconic Wildlife Experience

The Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo — are the most sought-after wildlife sightings on the continent. Africa's national parks and private conservancies offer extraordinary, intimate opportunities to observe them year-round, often at astonishingly close range.

From the Maasai Mara's legendary lion prides and the Serengeti's million-strong wildebeest herds, to Kruger's resident leopards, Botswana's 50,000-strong elephant concentrations and Zimbabwe's Hwange game drives — our Big Five safaris take you to the finest wildlife destinations across East and Southern Africa.

"We saw all five on day two — but the week just kept getting better. The guides' knowledge was extraordinary. Watching two male lions bring down a buffalo at sunrise changed my life. Top Poly made every moment feel special."
