Welcome from a fellow hunter from North Dakota! I will be going on my first Safari for a Cape buffalo and Sable with Tsala Safaris in June!
 
I have been thinking about what you asked about outfitters and my advice would be before starting to look, sit down and write out what you want out of a safari. The experiences, the environment, animals to see and or hunt etc. Use your criteria when searching and talking with outfitters to find the one that provides what you are wanting. There are a lot of great outfitters out there and some to be avoided. Start with your criteria and go from there.
 
Welcome to AH from another Minnesotan! I am heading to South Africa for my third safari in June. Cape Buffalo is on the list with Nick Bowker Hunting. We've hunted with him before and had an outstanding time and experience. Very professional and high quality animals! Be happy to discuss with you.

Thanks, did your hunt feel like fair chase? We’re the animals self sustaining?

Yessir, the animals are alert and wary. The buffalo were definitely not tame, had a couple run ins with them that got my heart going. The herds of most the animals on the properties were all good numbers that contained cows, young, and trophy bulls. We hunted two different properties that weren't their home properties but based on what I was told by my PH, those properties you will really get a world class buffalo experience. They can accommodate anything you want and will bend over backwards to do so. Highly recommend!
 
Welcome to AH! We are sure you will find your dream buffalo.

We look forward to sharing our passion and continent with you!

Kind Regards,

Welcome to AH.
My advice would be to plan for a plains game hunt with an outfitter who also has buffalo on the property.
If you do that you can decide to shoot a buffalo or not after being there.....
 
Welcome to AH!
 
Good day Nutterman,

Good luck with the search and planning of your safari. I think its half the fun!!! Happy to answer any questions you might have. There are a lot of good outfitters on the forum so I'm sure you will be in good hands hunting with any of the.

Cheers
Dave
 
Hello friends! I am a new member from Minnesota. I have hunted deer and bear and am planning my first African hunt . Looking at South Africa and interested in buffalo. Been thinking about this for many years. Plan on using a 375 H and H. I am overwhelmed with finding an outfitter. Any tips would be appreciated. Happy to be here!
Welcome to AH

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
