The big five are among the most dangerous animals.

 The Big Five
The most famous of the Masai Mara’s species were originally designated the Big Five by game hunters in the days when the great animals of the savannah were targets for guns rather than cameras.
The hunters were disconcerted to find that, although the odds were stacked in the favor given their use of firearms, more of their number became casualties to buffalo than any of the other four species, each of which was apparently more aggressive.
For modern hunters of big game – people like you who will be armed with cameras rather than high-powered rifles or shotguns – the buffalo are often the surprise highlight of a Masai Mara safari.
