A sky colored gloriously by the rising sun greets guests on an early morning game drive, admiring the antelope of Africa as they ready themselves for a day of grazing or browsing after the nervousness of night, when they are at their most vulnerable to the many predators in the area. Highlights of the day are sure to include sightings of one or more of the Big Five. The Rhino, Lion, Leopard, Buffalo and Elephant received this well known collective name in times past when the first European Hunters in Africa regarded them to be the most dangerous animals on the continent. A game drive conducted during the late afternoon and early evening could offer the opportunity of spotting one of the Big Cats, readying them for the hunt. Both the Leopard and Lion are nocturnal and would mostly be more active during this period of the day. |
