That could be. All the returning French hunters have shot big game in the area, most of them Koba and some buffalo. It is not a game rich area that is for sure and you have to know what you get into and be comfortable with that. They have told me upfront, if you want to be certain to get a buffalo or Koba this is not the place in Africa to be but if you want a challenge please come.
If you use Google AI you'll get a lot of information on the ZIC Falémé, the history of big game and DG hunting in that area.
Until recently you could even hunt buffalo in Mali. Sadly the jihadi situation in the area is ruining a lot of things as you know. Sometimes you get opportunities and information on the ground the internet will not deliver.
