Hi NDWoods, I live in Zimbabwe and have hunted a buff in the Save, it is great. If however, you are up to a diamond level African buffalo hunt head to the Nyakasanga in the Zambezi Valley. It is hot even in winter and there are tsetse flies, but it is as hard core an African hunt as you will get - I will go one day. No fences, truly wild everything. Expect to pay a bit of a premium though, and get fit.
