Cape Buffalo hunting with Derian Koekemoer Safaris is one of our flagship offerings, as we specialize in dangerous game in the heart of South Africa’s Lowveld (Limpopo Province), near Hoedspruit and bordering or adjacent to the Greater Kruger National Park area. We emphasize fair-chase hunts on high-quality private concessions and nature reserves, where you’ll experience the thrill of stalking “black death” in thick bushveld surrounded by wild sounds at night, including Buffalo herds, Leopards, Lion, Rhino, Elephants and Hyenas.

• Private Nature Reserves, adjacent to Kruger National Park, where buffalo roam freely in a classic Lowveld setting. These are often described as prime, high-quality grounds with abundant game and a true dangerous game feel.
