Nothing like getting up close to the largest land mammal in the world. The African Elephant.

One of the Big 5 of Africa

The name “Big 5 “ can be misleading – it is not the 5 largest animals in Africa.

How it gets its name is – These 5 animals are considered to be the 5 most dangerous animals to hunt in Africa and they are all man killers.

Elephant, Buffalo, Rhino, Lion and Leopard.

the magic of the African does not compare ... And the humility of its elephants is simply beautiful

It is isn’t it!

It's indeed a great feeling to be near the largest land mammal in the world. I bet you enjoyed your trip there. Have fun!

It was an absolutely spectacular trip. Thank you

There are a lot of wonders, natural habitats, Quality animals and wildlife in Africa. We appreciate them all

nice to know a bit more from africa @africaunited, I my homeland also many people try to hunt the elephant, sumatran tiger, sumatran Rhino. I pry for them to survive!

Beautiful womem

I love these large animals, and it is such a shame that people have to kill them almost to the point of extinction.

btw - Isn't the hippopotamus the African animal that kills the most humans. I suspect this is because they are such good mothers, and they look after their calves. I believe that a group of Hippos is called a 'crash' - very descriptive.
