Cape Buffalo in SA or Tanzania? The better hunt

[Philip Glass]

Is this a serious question? I do not mean to be rude but Tanzania is THE top hunting destination in Africa for many reasons. It is also the most expensive. The benefit for buffalo hunters here is that adding a second buffalo costs virtually nothing.

Do you find they’re more wary of hunters because of this? Does it make the hunt more challenging? Or are they more aggressive?

Just interested as I would have thought they were in a large area, self sustaining in SA, they would still be the same animal - but possibly not. If they’re animals that are worked with or see people frequently though I appreciate there may be a difference.

Interesting concept anyway. Looks like it would be Zim for me if the doors ever open for a 40th or 50th. Quite a price difference between that and Tanzania .

I have hunted 2 million acres non fenced in Zim and 100,000 acres fenced in SA with a sustainable herd…I saw and experienced absolutely no difference in buff behavior. If they saw, heard or smelled you in both they were gone. lions or not

Agree with Philip…the cost in Tanzania is all about the day rates…first buff not bad trophy fee…second just awesome
