Watch: We found the rarest safari animal on earth
We wrap South Africa deep in Kruger National Park—Big Five already spotted, this safari hunts for rarer wildlife beyond the classics.
Our family is wrapping up a tour of South Africa with a few days deep in the bush of Kruger National Park. Since our very fruitful game drives around Phinda already checked off all of Africa’s Big Five, including the lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard, we’re focusing this safari on spotting a few other exciting animals, including one of the rarest on Earth.
