The buffalo is one of "The Big Five" - the 5 most dangerous safari animals. Buffalo are unpredictable, and can go from eating grass to charging with no warning.

Our Ranger, Gavin, said the buffalo is the most dangerous of the Big 5 because it's so unpredictable. Sometimes, a charging buffalo will appear to give up and go the other way, but is actually making a wide circle to attack from the opposite direction.

Both males & females have horns, but the males' horns meet on top of their heads to form a helmet. This is a male.

A lone male buffalo, if separated from the herd, is particularly dangerous. Apparently being kicked out of the group makes them quite grumpy.
