Different ways to look at this.
I will go with the Cape Buffalo hunt, provided it is an open range package like, Zambia, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Tanzania. I definitely would stay away from a package where you have 3 to 5 days for a Cape Buffalo hunt.
I have hunted both open range and fenced plains game. This is what i have observed and if the weather remains constant. Weather fronts like Rain and strong winds will change games feeding patterns.
In a fenced area (and it does not make a difference the size of property) the same animals will be in the same areas daily, it is just like clock work. First day driving around the property, if you pay attention to details, you will notice that around this corner is waterbuck, the open area are blesbuck & impala, kudo by the dry creek bed, wart hog on the east side of the pond. You will drive one way in the AM for an area and in the afternoon another area all to coincide with the way the plains game move and feed. If you pick your land marks it is easy to be prepared with your camera to take pictures of game before they move off.
However, In an open range area, i have found that some animals are in the same area sometimes, however that is not true all the time. So you are really out looking for the game, and there are times when you beat the trackers in spotting game.
