I like any of them where the main body color is red, with black accents. For horns, I like when the bulls horns sweep back like oversized forrest buff horns with a boss (i.e. #10)

Do the colour variations have to do with genetics from forest buffalo (red) and cape (black)? And do the different colours generally have different horn shapes?

 

[LEFOL SAFARIS]

The habitat is a big factor for the color and the size of the horn. Not always you can a black Buffalo with small horn and big body and next to him a red one with bigger horn but smaller body. Most of the time the black one have the biggest body

This past March I took a buffalo in Cameroon, I think it is called Western Savannah buffalo, what is the difference in that buffalo and the Central Savannah buffalo? This last picture posted looks a lot like the one I took in Cameroon. And what time of year do you hunt these buffalo? Thank you!!

I told my wife it was a once in a lifetime trip for me to hunt Cape buffalo last year. I am sure she will understand that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to fish and hunt savanna buffalo with you. I need to take her somewhere nice this year so I can book something maybe 2025…

Yes in Cameroon they are classified as Western Savanna. Normally Central Savanna Buffalo are normally bigger and taller the color quite the same. Also Rawland don't have the same system to measure them.

The client took this buffalo have hunted a lot in Cameroon and told me it was much bigger body than all the other one he killed in Cameroon.
