“A place to escape, a place to return, a place to remember.”
The phrase ‘Big Five’ was coined by big game hunters in Southern Africa and refers to the five most difficult animals in Africa to hunt on foot. The term is still used in most tourist and wildlife guides that discuss African wildlife safaris, but nowadays to describe the five species of game that wildlife enthusiasts strive to see when visiting game reserves.
The Big Five are the Lion, African Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Leopard and the Rhinoceros.
After the extensive renovations to the former Settlers Motel, it was appropriate to unveil the new Big Five Motel. From our humble roots in South Africa, we found it fitting to outfit the motel in animal themed decor, bringing a small bit of our former home to our new.
From all of us here at the Big Five Motel we wish to welcome both past guests of Settlers Motel and future guests of the Big Five Motel. We thank you for your support and patronage and trust we can make your stay a comfortable and unforgettable experience.
