The safari vehicles focused, searching only for the big five; passing by the other spectacular mammals, birds, reptiles and insects; that are fascinating and an essential part of the environment. Big is beautiful is the cry of the safari makers. written by ian williamson Animals such as lion and leopard and elephant are present in huge concentrations.

This huge river with its ever changing pattern of sandbanks, oxbow lakes, lagoons, islands and channels is a magnet for many animals and especially the birds. << previous page 1 next page>> |
