What is the New Big 5? Most people know the traditional Big 5 animals: Lion, Leopard, Cape Buffalo, Rhino and Elephant. They were named as the top animals to hunt on Safari in Africa. The New Big 5 was an international initiative to create a New Big 5 of Photography and not hunting. Animals that we want to shoot with a camera and not a gun. The New Big 5 are Polar Bears, Gorillas, Lions, Tigers and Elephants.
The traditional Big 5 was relatively easy to see. Travel to Africa and more than likely you will encounter most if not all of the Big 5. The New Big 5 is more difficult. It means traveling to the Arctic, Asia and Africa. Even then you might not encounter all of these animals.
Kati and I did just that.
