While it's possible to see all the Big Five in one safari, it depends on various factors such as the location, duration of your safari, and some luck. Certain parks, like the Masai Mara and Serengeti, offer higher chances of seeing all five.
These animals were originally termed the Big Five by big-game hunters for being the most challenging to hunt on foot, but today they are the most sought-after animals to see on safari.
