Have you ever been on a safari game drive or seen wild animals up close?

Reading Text:
The Big Five refers to the lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros. They were once considered the most dangerous animals for hunters, but today they are symbols of South Africa’s natural heritage. Each of these animals represents strength and resilience. The lion is admired for its power, the elephant for its intelligence, the buffalo for its unpredictability, the leopard for its stealth, and the rhinoceros for its toughness. Millions of tourists visit South Africa to see them in the wild, making conservation efforts essential.
