  6. Notes • People from the many different world regions including the Arabian peninsula and Europe have settled in Africa. Each group brought with it new cultural ideas and influences such as languages, religions, and customs. • One way Africans preserve their culture is by telling stories about the past some storytellers and griots tell of African heroes. • Each year millions of people from all over the world visit South Africa to see its breathtaking landscape. In addition to its rugged scenery, South Africa has many protected wildlife areas and national parks. In these areas visitors can see animals in their natural environments. There are many different animals to see, but the most popular ones to spot are known as the Big Five. This group consists of the elephant, the rhino, the leopard, the lion, and the cape buffalo. With the help of a guide, you can follow the tracks of a leopard, see lions drinking at a water hole, or watch a herd of grazing cape buffalo.
