The big 5

Lions

Basically the lioness does all te work, the lions sits on his lazy ass and only comes out to grawl & hunt when he gets indications of food or danger. What a life! 85% of the 350 lions in Namibia are confined to Etosha Park. Once they escape from the park, it's only a matter of time before they are shot by ranchers to protect their cattle...

African elephant

This baby weighs 6.5 ton and drinks about 65 litres of water a day (and this for a dry country like Namibia) Namibia is the only country in the world where you can find the "desert elephant", a whiter species adapted to the harsh conditions around the Skeleton Coast.

Buffalo

Main occupation: grazing all day long! While herds are unlikely to charge, solitary males always think attack is the best defence (so don't feel sorry for his lonelyness)

Leopard

Spends most of his days hanging in tree tops, enjoying the shade, either sleeping or eating from the carcas of a prey.

Black Rhinoceros

This hunchback has a big neck hump and a horn up to 1.3m! They're rarer than the white rhinoceros.
