You've probably heard of the "Big Five" – a must-see list of animals to look out for whilst on safari: (Elephant, Buffalo, Leopard, Lion and Rhino), but did you know Africa also has a "Little Five"? Here is the other must-see list, the “Little Five”. They are the Elephant Shrew, Ant Lion, Rhinoceros Beetle, Buffalo Weaver and Leopard Tortoise.
Africa’s big game is awesome, but there is also a wealth of interesting smaller species including remarkable birdlife, small game and strange insects.
A bush walk is the best time to try to check these interesting creatures off your safari list.
Africa is like no other place on Earth when it comes to the variety and majesty of its wildlife. The big five—lions, leopards, buffalo, elephants, rhinos—famously call Africa home, but so too do other large animals including one of our guests’ favourites, the cheetah. It’s well-known that cheetahs are the world’s fastest land-based animal; they can reach top speeds of 75 mph during sprints, and it only takes them three seconds to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph. But beyond their incredible speed, there is much to learn and love about cheetahs.

Anyone who loves cooking as I do will know what I have discovered, namely that having the right ingredients is essential. Having spent a life in food, I have found that recipes often call for a dash of something unexpected – a secret ingredient – that makes all the difference. This year, as we celebrate International Women’s Day and TTC’s first 100 years, I have been reflecting upon the secret ingredient that women bring to all that TTC does.
In my life, love and travel have long been – and always will be – inseparable. I will never forget the night I first discovered this, nor will I forget where that evening began – the Oyster Box Hotel in Umhlanga, outside of Durban, South Africa.
