I have done two buff hunts (so have almost nothing like the experience most of the guys here have) but my thoughts. I did one hunt in the Selous in Tanzania and one in a big place in South Africa, 10,000 hectares from memory, otterskloop I think it is spelt. Neither was easy, we didnīt see any buff in either place for 6 days (plenty of spoor etc) and in both cases (coincidence) I shot the animals 2 or 3 days before I was due to go home. I enjoyed both immensely. I KNOW there are places in SA where it is not a hunt but if you choose one of the big places in my opinion you will have just as good a time. And one plus about SA...you will not have the official ranger with you carrying an AK 47 who on the very first day states matter of fact that he wants an 800 US$ bribe or you arenīt even going to start hunting !!! That pissed me off, best, Mike

That bribing a Tanzania thing??? Have never had to do that in Zim or the other places I have gone..just curious as I have another friend that happened to as well..also in Tanzania..

They tried to bribe my friend and I in Kyrgzstan but told them to f--k off and loaded my rifle..that seemed to end that idea some...kept the rifle with me inside the vehicle the entire 8 1/2 hours to the city..got some weird looks when I got out of the vehicle with my rifle..
