Dreams can come true
South Africa
South Africa is one of the most popular destinations in Africa because of its excellent tourism infrastructure. In terms of hunting, it offers countless exciting opportunities, even though some negative headlines have cast hunting there in the wrong light.
Although it’s a fact that just about all hunting areas in South Africa are protected with fences, it doesn’t mean they are associated with canned hunting, which has a bad reputation. The fencing is primarily due to South African wildlife management, who also have to protect and take into consideration areas used for farming.
As a hunter, you barely even notice it because the fenced areas are usually several times larger than German hunting grounds, for example. Hunting for mature buffalo is therefore just as exciting as it is in other African countries. Hunters who want to combine hunting with a family holiday can find the perfect prerequisites here, as can those who don’t want to or can’t push themselves to their physical limits in an unusual climate.
Zimbabwe
Despite all the naysayers, hunting is still important in Zimbabwe. Pro-fessional hunters in Zimbabwe enjoy probably the most extensive training on the entire African continent and are therefore some of the most experienced around. This is also reflected in the utterly professional care the hunting guests receive as soon as they arrive at the airport. It’s one of the many reasons why Zimbabwe is still so popular among hunters throughout the world. If you want to experience buffalo hunting from the camps in the “good old English style”, you will not be disappointed here. Even the hunting costs are reasonable in comparison to other countries. So much so that Zimbabwe is seen now more than ever as an insider tip.
Tanzania
Without a doubt, Tanzania is one of the most famous and exclusive safari destinations in Africa. Twenty-five percent of the land is set aside as protected areas for wildlife, which is reflected in the unparalleled pristine nature and sensational faunal biodiversity. This exclusivity has its price, of course. But what is on offer is extremely difficult to beat in terms of experiential value.
However, if you haven’t got your heart set on one of the traditional safaris for the Big Four and you just want to focus on buffalo hunting, we recommend hunting for mountain buffalo in the region around the famous Lake Natron. You can embark upon a very special adventure here, stalking the large and powerful buffalo from camp in the evergreen forests of the mountain highlands. In terms of reasonably priced hunts, these are certainly some of the most exciting around. At the same time, they are some of the most promising if you are relatively fit.
Mozambique
Today, the Zambezi Delta is home to the largest herds of buffalo in Africa. Mozambique therefore offers hunters the best chances of major trophies. The excellent stock of otherwise endangered species of antelope is all thanks to the very professional wildlife management here. Every hunt has comfortable base camps with an atmosphere like no other thanks to their typical African flair. As these hunts are located close to the Indian Ocean, these trips are perfect for anyone who wants to combine buffalo hunting with deep-sea fishing. In any event, exciting and unforgettable experiences are guaranteed here.
