Good day AH community,
After two years of being sold out before we even get to the marketing season, we’re once again making this Buffalo hunt available to the public. It’s a solid opportunity for anyone who wants to hunt mature Dugga Bulls in a proper, wild setting.
This will be our fifth consecutive season on the reserve. Over the years, we’ve seen steady improvement in both Buffalo numbers and the age structure of the herds. Careful quota management has made a noticeable difference, and it’s encouraging to see more old bulls and cows each season.
The hunt takes place on a 44,500-acre reserve made up of rolling hills, sand veld, open flats, and mountainous country. It’s a diverse area that makes for challenging and rewarding tracking. We hunt the way it should be done - on foot, following fresh tracks from the previous day. You can expect long days in the field, checking roads and waterholes, and covering plenty of ground. A high level of fitness is important, as 10–15 km a day on foot over uneven ground is common.
We hunt without size restrictions and focus on age and character. Most bulls taken here measure between 34" and 40", with thick, worn bosses and plenty of history behind them. Every Buffalo hunted here is earned the hard way. The Buffalo on this property carry the original Addo genetics, with a small Kruger introduction many years ago. They’ve remained wild and unmanaged since their release. Because of that, horn width isn’t as wide as on some other Buffalo populations, but these are true, self-sustaining animals that provide a genuine hunting experience. Pricing reflects that difference in genetics, not the quality of the hunt.
This is a fair-chase hunt. There are no shortcuts or guarantees, and success depends entirely on effort, conditions, and a bit of luck - just the way it should be. The meat from the Buffalo hunted goes to the local community bordering the reserve, and this partnership helps support both conservation and the people who live alongside the wildlife. Extra hunters or friends are welcome to join, and we can include additional game if requested. Our 2025 season produced some excellent hunts and solid old bulls, and we’re looking forward to continuing the same approach next year.
This reserve remains one of the most rewarding places we’ve hunted for old Buffalo. It’s demanding, but the experience - tracking, working as a team, and spending full days in this kind of country - is what makes it worthwhile. Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity - it’s one of those hidden gems that only comes around once in a while.

Please note the following with regards to the hunt:
*Accommodation is offsite. The drive in is 30 minutes exactly. The lodge is beautiful and does have WIFI. Days are spent on the reserve.
