StefanRe: Where to go see the Big 5 in South Africa?
I took a quick tour in Pilanesberg after may hunting trip nereby in Apr. this year. The park is a nice place and there was plenty of game to se. We dindn�t have a lot of time on our hands so we didn�t see a lot of the big five..... We got to se elephant and rihno. I had hope to se buffalo and leopard since I got to se the other in big five in other places. We didn�t se eather buffalo or leopard at Pilanesberg but I don�t regret the trip thru the park at all! We had a "close and personal" experience with a herd of elephant cows, calfs and young males. We where on a ded end road and the elephants decided that we needed a rest in the car 
The herd blocked the road for well over a houer... Some tourists got a bit stressed and tried to pass the herd on the road. A few cows showed some temper and the attemts stopped 
A small male gave a couple a lasing memory by denting a fender on their small sedan!We had a great day!
Been there a couple times for quite a few days and didn't see a square inch of grey (cept for elephants..)
