BIG 5 SAFARIThis eight day safari is for those who want the ultimate game viewing experience, including all the 'Big 5' game species (elephant, rhino, buffalo, leopard and lion), as well as a plethora of plains game. First this safari takes you deep in the Waterberg mountains in Limpopo Province, South Africa, to a pioneering private game reserve. Horizon Horseback Safaris hosts these first four days, where you will see buffalo, leopard (if lucky) and literally 'herds' of rhino and plains game. Accommodation is in a thatched lodged overlooking a lake with stunning vistas. Each room has en suite facilities and the three double rooms open out onto a private verandah over the lake. |
