ROCK CLIMBING & CAVING

If you want to see some big wild animals then go on holiday to the Masai Mara

The thing with going on safari here is that you will be able to see the “Big Five”. The reason these animals got the name “The Big Five” was because hunters in the 1800′s believed them to be the hardest to catch and the most dangerous.

The proud pride owner the Lion. The Lion is but only the second largest of the Big Cats, but Tigers aren’t present in the Mara. Lions in general are keystone predators which means they hunt and take down their own food, rather than scavenge, although if the opportunity arises they will take it. In some strange and interesting cases, the Lion has been known to attack people, and sometimes it even has stalked Humans as food.

The ever majestic African Elephant. These massive beasts weigh an impressive average of about 5 and half tonnes and can reach over 3 metres tall. The African elephant has 4 main teeth, not including the tusks, these molars are 12 inches long and weigh around 5 kilos. One of the amazing things about the elephant is that the tusks can grow up to 2 and a half metres long.

Then there is the Cape buffalo. This animal is one of the preys of lions that are actually pretty good at defending themselves; they have even been known to kill lions as well. The Cape buffalo is regarded as one of the most dangerous animals in Mara; it is a very short temper and is reported to have killed about 200 people every year.

The Black Rhinoceros. This well armoured and large beast has in a way been wrongly named, this was because the White Rhino has been wrongly named as well. The Black and the White Rhino are practically indistinguishable by colour. The White Rhino was actually a mistranslation from the Dutch word “Weit”. This word actually means “wide” because the White Rhino had a long square like lip, whereas the Black Rhino has a pointed lip.

Finally the Leopard. This is the smallest of the Big Cats, but is by no means the slowest. This Cat isn’t really recognised for its speed; it can run up to 36 mph and can jump up to 3 metres vertically into the air. The Leopard is also a very powerful climber and a supreme swimmer.

So if you would like to go and see the Big Five then why not try Kenya holidays, Tanzania holidays or Zambia holidays. You will find them around these key locations.
