In Africa, the Big Five game animals are the lion, leopard, rhinoceros,
elephant, and African buffalo. The term was coined by big-game hunters
to refer to the five most difficult animals in Africa to hunt on foot,
but is now more widely used by game viewing tourists and safari tour
operators.

Zimbabwe
is a superb safari destination.
The main parks are well tended, and plentiful wildlife includes the
second-highest
elephant count of any African country. Standing in the spray of Victoria
Falls, the
worldโs largest sheet of falling water, is an overwhelming
experience. Hwange National Park, home to all the Big Five, is
not be missed, while Mana Pools National Park offers great canoeing
safaris on the Zambezi River.
