The Big Five in Swahili

Last week we wrapped up our multi-part Swahili times and dates lesson, and this week we introduce "The Big Five". This term refers to the most sought-after animals on an African wildlife safari. All of the following photographs were collected on safari on the Maasai Mara with World of Difference.

Lion = Simba

Elephant = Tembo

Cape Buffalo = Nyati

Leopard = Chui

Black Rhinoceros = Nyeusi Kifaru

Next week we will learn the names of some of the other animals you would see on a safari :)
