Re: Cape Buffalo Hunting In South Africa

I hunted South Africa for Cape Buffalo in 2006. (it was my first safari)
It was the biggest mistake and waste of money in all my years of hunting.
Among other problems, what the outfitter had described to me as his "concession" turned out to be leased access on a tiny property with a single resident herd of buffalo.
Talking to people, this is a pattern that you hear about a lot.
I've taken two bulls in Zimbabwe since then.
Go to Zim or Mozambique or Tanzania and hunt a real wild bull. Shooting one out of inventory that was purchased from a breeder and brought in on a truck (complete with ear tag) is not really hunting if you ask me.
VERY VERY FEW outfitters offering free range, wild cape buffalo hunting anywhere in South Africa. And usually at a price twice that of elsewhere.
How many border Kruger? Six or so? And bulls out of a National Park, well they are used to people photographing them ...
Matt, Which Kruger boundary park outfitter are you referring to?
