#1 or our Beautiful Big Five Series. A magnificent male lion lopes through the tall savannah grasses surveying the plains. Ever wondered where the term #bigfive comes from?

#3 of our Big Five series. It's mud bath time for these elephants. They are having a whale of a time in this swamp in Tarangire National Park! #iconicafrica #bigfive #safari #bigfivesafari #bigfivegame #adventure #luxuryafricansafari #africansafari #africatravel #bucketlist #elephants #tarangire #tanzania #eastafrica #wildlife

#4 of our Big Five Series. One of our favourite female leopards gives us a stare down from her perch in a tree in the Northern Serengeti. Definitely the most exquisite and majestic of the #bigfive #iconicafrica #leopard #catsofinstagram #wildlife #eastafrica #tanzania #serengeti #safari #luxuryafricansafari #luxury #travel #luxurytravel #bucketlist #epicmoments

And finally #5 of our Big Five series and a personal favourite. A lone rhino wanders quietly trough the red grass plains of the Masai Mara. We have to do everything we can to protect these exceptional creatures for our children and our children's children. #iconicafrica #bigfive #bigfivesafari #bigfivegame #bucketlist #travel #luxury #luxuryafricansafari #eastafrica #kenya #epicmoments #wildlife #rhino #saveourrhinos #epicmoments #masaimara

Watch as this sub-adult male leopard hoists his dinner up into a tree in the Northern Serengeti. Having just stolen it from the female (currently sulking in the next door tree) he lifts the Thompson's gazelle high off the ground so that he can enjoy it in peace! Leopards are very powerful and have been known to hoist even giraffe calves (weighing 110-150kgs) up into trees. #iconicafrica #bigfive #leopard #serengeti #eastafrica #tanzania #catsofinatagram #epicmoments #bucketlist #safari #africa #travel #luxuryafricansafari #wildlife #wildlifeohotography #safarivideo
