Cape buffalo safaris recommendations

[Grant Jones]

Would love the forums response to recommendations on hunting cape buffalo locations. Several outfitters are offering deals on any size. Africa Sun Safaris is one. Thoughts?

Depends on what you want in a hunt, if it’s fenced I would look at a area with at least 20,000 acres. I did a hunt with Wintershoek 3 years ago in a fenced area of that size and never saw the fence. Next year I’m going after Cape Buffalo in the Caprivi Strip where there are no fences. My first Buffalo hunt was in a smaller fenced area about 8,000 acres it was on foot so a good hunt but the animals where spooky so very hard to get a good shot at.

Depends on the experience you want as well as the buffalo. In the Caprivi, I could not more highly recommend Jamy Traut. https://jamyhunts.com/ In Mozambique's Zambezi Delta then I can recommend Grant Taylor's Mashambanzou Safaris https://www.mashambanzousafaris.com/ If you are interested in a South African ranch hunt, then Phillip Bronkhorst http://www.pbsafaris.com/ can put together a great challenging hunt.

Hi Grant,
I think the first thing that you need to establish, is what you are looking to get out of your hunt.
If you could list what you would like to achieve during your Cape Buffalo hunt, that would be a starting point in informing other outfitters if they can offer what you are looking for.
For some hunters, price is the main factor, even above experience.
We have a saying in the industry. Many people have shot Cape Buffalo, but how many have hunted one?
All the best with your research, and please do not hesitate to ask any questions.

Take Care,
Marius Goosen

@Grant Jones you also bring size and offers into your question..... So that's not looking for a hunt in basically anywhere but SA.....as marius said more information..... So people don't waste their time trying to help..... But without that information it's a waste of time...... I know people I and another friend from Zambia who is on here have done our best to assist by giving information, and all contact details to these people asking same question as you are....but not one of the outfitters were ever contacted by the persons asking for information..... So......................

Good day Grant,

As many mentioned above I also think it is important for you to know what you are looking for in the hunt.

Free range, fenced and if fenced how big the minimum area must be. Do you want to hunt hard on foot or more of a spot and stalk hunt. All these factors will influence the price of your hunt.

We have several different options all over Africa and everyone is different and offer a different experience.

If you have more specific questions, please feel free to contact me any time.

All my best,

Jacques

Hi Grant

Matetsi Safari Area in Zimbabwe is undoubtedly one of the finest free-range Cape Buffalo hunting areas in Africa.

We hunt out of an old colonial style lodge and offer the best bush-cuisine as well as all the creature comforts that you might require on your hunt.

We are also ideally situated to Victoria Falls which makes for easy transfers and access to all the extra activities that it has to offer.

Any questions? Give us a shout. Otherwise, wishing you the best for your upcoming hunt!

We have a few options available with my own property being close to 10 000 acres and sustainable herds of buffalo.We are in the Waterberg area of Limpopo.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

If you go to a fenced area, do your homework and be certain that the type of experience you get is the one you wanted. Visited a 5k acre fenced farm in RSA. There were a few buffalo, sable, lots of black wildebeest. I thought i was at a zoo. All those animals were so used to trucks you get within 50 yds. All were docile, I left after 2 days without firing a shot. Then went to 50k acre game farm in Botswana. Truly wild animals in that location, stayed a week and kept skinners busy.
