The Big 5: Cape Buffalo

Undoubtedly the easiest of the Big 5 hard to hunt animals to see, the Cape Buffalo is not endangered and is found in herds of up to an incredible 500. These hard to hunt animals are found all over in the easily accessible and affordable Krueger National Park. However, the best places are in the far north or far southern reaches of the Park. A few years ago a baby buffalo was snatched away by crocodiles and lions in Krueger, and video footage of this went viral on social media and via YouTube. Happily – and quite astonishingly – the baby was rescued by its herd relatively unscathed. So if you want the opportunity to see a similar experience, with some luck, Krueger National Park will present the opportunity of seeing something similar: The ultimate battle between the prey and the hunted.
