As it seems to be fascinated when a herd of deer, the donkey, the buffalo, and some types of migratory birds pass in front of you, beautiful homogeneity and calm, even for some time for these animals that have no other than eating.
Or when you see a lion wandering in the plains with steps that shake the earth, or wait for the opportunity to launch a small spin, as we saw on our journey, and you are in a state of fear and apprehension. Or when you see a herd of elephants, they walk with confidence and confident pace with risks.

“Big Five” and “The Lion King”
You are now in a safari, an open four -wheel drive, to be able to reach off -road, roaming the wilderness under the vast sky of South Africa in search of the “five adults” or as they are called Big Five, who are: Assad, Al -Nimr, Wahid Al -Qarn, Elephant, and Jamous. Where darkness before sunrise, severe cold, and sun threads lead the scene for a wonderful emergency and breathtaking colors. The adventure was the search for lions. The distance between us and them was not far away, and here it must be indicated the importance of following the instructions of the guide fully, and as the guide indicated, the animals see the car as if it is one block, and the danger lies when moving the hands outside the car or when standing and moving the body, while sitting quietly inside the car means safety. He was a terrible scene in the presence of the king of the forest while walking in search of his prey. The guide says that the lions often do not hunt, but the lioness does this, especially in the darkness, where it is active with the sense of sight.
It was a beautiful day in which we saw the “five adults” of animals, next to the deer, the donkey of the monster, the giraffe and the horse of the river. Then we reminded us of the movie “The Lion King”, where the wild boar Pumba and Timon “The Rajat” and the bird that roams with Simba al -Assad. South Africa provides a unique experience in private reserves that are home to a wide range of unique animals and plants.
Animal protection in safari
Wildlife is an important part of the natural fabric in South Africa, as it embodies a rich diversity of animal and plant species. With the increasing threats facing these creatures, such as overfishing and the loss of natural citizen, it becomes necessary to take effective steps to protect them. This is what the South African government is working on through integrated efforts that include public awareness and legal protection. Where the government is working to define protected areas where unjust fishing is prohibited, in addition to enhancing control over reserves to combat any illegal activity.
These reserves play a vital role in providing food and water during the dry seasons, ensuring that animals remain in their natural environment. The resettlement of endangered species is also a decisive step, as some rare stamps have been localized in safe areas as we saw in the reserve, which contributes to increasing their numbers and reproduction and then launching them in the wild. Reserves also contribute to a balance between the numbers of predators and pets, allowing their reproduction sustainable. These efforts also include research and study programs to better understand animal needs, and implement strategies aimed at protecting the natural citizen. Through these initiatives, South Africa seeks to preserve its natural heritage and ensure a sustainable future for wildlife, which reflects the country’s commitment to protecting the biological diversity of future generations.
Safety during the safari trip
Safety is an essential part of the successful safari experience. Although watching wild animals is an exciting thing for fans of these adventures, it is important and necessary to follow the basic rules to ensure the safety of everyone in the wilderness. Among these matters: Not to leave the car except in the designated areas inside the reserve, whether for photography purposes or for any other purpose, where predators can be hidden in an unexpected place and attack without hesitation. The cars used in safari must also be specially designed to deal with rugged terrain in the wild and forests to ensure comfort and safety while moving across difficult environments. It is also necessary to choose professional guides with extensive experience in organizing safari trips, keen on the safety of visitors and providing strict instructions before starting the adventure. They are trained in how to act in emergency situations, and are well able to deal with animals, ensuring the adventure is a safe and enjoyable experience. Therefore, careful and careful planning for the safari, choosing the best times to visit, and clothes appropriate for the seasons of the year. Every moment in the safari, whether it is full of excitement or calm, contributes to creating an unforgettable memories that last long.
