The Big Five are the lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and cape buffalo. They were named the Big Five not because of their size alone, but because they were the most challenging of South Africa's large animal species to hunt. Tourists who come to Kruger tend to get fixated on the Big Five, often to the point of missing out on sightings of other, smaller, but still interesting species, such as impala, warthogs, and birds. Of the Big Five, leopards are by far the hardest to find, because they are nocturnal and are usually sleeping during the day, often up in trees. Lions are the second-hardest to find. Usually the easiest way to find the Big Five in Kruger is to look for stopped cars. Where two or more cars are stopped, there is usually a Big Five animal nearby that they are all watching.
