Tuskless Elephant / Buffalo Hunt

[TOBY458]

I am very interested in doing a Tuskless/Buffalo hunt. Who has the best deal? Looking at 2021.

 

[Ridgewalker]

That should be awesome! Your new 404 should work well on both (assuming you still have it in 2021 ).

Excellent plan Toby! Should be a blast. That is my idea of the perfect DG combo.
My two bits, I would look at both Mokore and CMS in Zim. I have never heard a bad report or criticism of either outfit. Both are excellent! I hunted tuskless with Mokore, PH Doug Duckworth, last year and it was fantastic! Lots of boot leather and sweat! Hundreds of ele every day and much close interaction with herds on a daily basis. Definitely up close and personal, adrenalin packed hunt.
Regarding your original question, I would not expect Mokore or CMS to be the least expensive deal you can find. “Best deal” might mean something different to everyone. Generally speaking, for an ele/buff combo in Zim I would expect to pay at least $1K per day in day rates and about $4K trophy fee each for buff and tuskless.
You could probably do tuskless only for $750 per day and $4K trophy fee, ball park.
Just my two bits.
Good luck and enjoy the search!

Thanks for the replies. I'm in the planning stage at the moment, so pricing from outfitters would be appreciated. Just need to find out a ballpark figure for what to expect.

Zambia has just opened tuskless ele, perhaps an option?? If I’m right, last year was the first time tuskless have been on quota here.

That's good news.

Buzz is probably one of the premier elephant outfitters in Zim. All fees are on their web site.

I am putting my money where my mouth is, doing a leopard/cape buffalo hunt with him this August.

Buzz is a great option.

Hunted Buff with Buzz last September. Absolutely superb and will be going back guaranteed. CM Safaris is one of the best. Top notch
