NAMIBIA: Cape Buffalo Hunt In The Caprivi With ndumo HUNTING SAFARIS July 16-25, 2025

Hunted with Ndumo last year and had an absolute ball. Wayne is a very nice gentleman and one couldn't be in better hands. And congrats on one fine buffalo! Were you hunting the Balyerwa concession?

NVM saw a post where you were in Balyerwa... sorry.
 
@bwanamrm that is an awesome photo of the buffalo herd, thanks for sharing. Another testimony to the number of buffalo one sees in the Caprivi.

I weighed the bullets today. Both are 400 gr Swift A-Frames, shot from my 404 Jeffery. The 84.0 grs of H-4350 push them to 2300 FPS. The buffalo was right at 100 yards. The bullet on the left was a straight on shot with the buffalo looking straight at me. I pulled it a little to the left and the bullet entered more of the front right shoulder. That bullet weighed 331 grs or 82.75% weight retention. The bullet on the right was a broadside shot that double lung him and was found on the opposite side, just under the skin. That bullet weighed 345 grs or 86.25% weight retention.

I've shot a lot of animals with Swift A Frames and typically see 95% or better weight retention. The lower numbers with the cape buffalo indicate just how tough of an animal they are.
 
Great report and even better buff! Congrats to you!
 
Great Buff, who said buffalo hunting was hard.
 
Dave, If I ever went on a Cape Buffalo hunt, your experience is the way I'd like mine to go. If I recall correctly our 404(s) use the same load.
 
Great buff, congrats !

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
