the large herbivores

The Cape Buffalo

The most unpredictable of this group and, therefore, usually the most feared by the local tribes.

The African Elephant

The largest land animals on earth. Elephants travel in family herds with bonds between mothers and daughters lasting up to 60 years!

The Giraffe

Seeming perhaps a bit “unbalanced” at first glance. Giraffe move with dignified grace across the plains, and are remarkable runners.

The Hippopotamus

In contrast to a peaceful facade, hippos are strongly territorial, and account for more deaths than any other animal in Africa

The Rhinoceros

Despite heavy poaching for its horn, parks and conservation groups are helping ensure these amazing creatures’ future.
