Because they are the biggest/most charismatic species in Africa.

And five makes an easy enough list to remember, you can count them off on your fingers.

It might just as well have been the big-anything. Strike the Leopard(you've already got the biggest cat) and have the big four.

Add the Eland, the biggest antelope and you have the big six.
