I know that I am not alone when I say that I have been dreaming of going on an African Safari ever since I have watched Disney’s The Lion King (and some National Geographic documentaries).
The idea of seeing the wild up close got all my adventure bones tingling. So, when I received this photo of The Traveling Journal Project I was so excited to share with everyone….and like me, their jaw dropped and said ‘wow’!
Here’s a note from the current The Traveling Journal Project Keeper:
Endelig skulle vi bytte ut den store trucken med terrengkjøretøy for å jakte på de ville dyrene i Afrika. Serengeti nasjonalpark i Tanzania er en av de beste stedene i Afrika for safari, og vi var klar for å endelig se «the big five».
(“Finally, we should replace the big truck with the ATVs to hunt the wild animals in Africa. Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is one of the best places in Africa for a safari and we were ready to finally see "the big five”.)
Africa’s big five are:
- Lion
- African Elephant
- Cape Buffalo
- Leopart
- Rhinoceros
According to a note from wikepedia:
"The term big five game (sometimes capitalized or quoted as "Big Five") was coined by big-game hunters and refers to the five most difficult animals in Africa to hunt on foot. Subsequently the term was adopted by safari tour operators for marketing purposes.[2] The term is used in most tourist and wildlife guides that discuss African wildlife safaris. The members of the Big Five were chosen for the difficulty in hunting them and the degree of danger involved, rather than their size.”
Africa is so beautiful, just looking at this, I want to just to start searching www.cleartrip.com and book my flight.
I cant wait for the next adventure of The Traveling Journal Project in Africa.
