Outfitters for hunting water buffalo in Australia
      #382456 - 11/02/24 08:20 PM

After hunting cape buffalo in Mozambique last year, I have started to think about hunting more of the great "wild cattle". Any tips on outfitters for hunting water buffalo in Australia? How is the cost of water buffalo these days?

I've hunted with two outfitters, four actually and by myself. Only one of the four outfitters is still going strong.

One outfitter, the principal died, so that outfitter is gone. I hunted with him for banteng via another outfitter I don't think is in business anymore. The fourth outfitter were New Zealanders I did a buffalo cull with and they've sold out and gone home.

I can recommend Australian Buffalo Hunters, Graham Williams. I hunted last with him 18 years ago, but he is still in business, still guiding clients. You can hunt water buffalo, banteng bulls with Graham, pigs and other feral game. Contact Graham directly for more information, prices etc. Graham does premium hunts, 100% legal access, and takes great efforts to accommodate clients. He's booked out for a year or two as evidence. But enquire directly for information..

A couple of our NE members have been hunting guides/PHs for Graham.

Australian Buffalo Hunters is a sponsor of the NE forums. I don't take sponsorship from just anyone. Must be quality and reputable.

No doubt there are other outfitters of varying quality and prices to also consider. Others can recommend them from their experiences.

Good luck. A water buffalo hunt done well in the remote Top End is very enjoyable and an African safari like experience with an Aussie Outback Flavour.

A cape buffalo, an Aussie water buffalo bull, banteng bull and a wild feral scrub bull are four of the must hunt bovines of the World.


PS please post some photos and stories of your African cape buffalo hunt if you haven't already, on a new thread. Thanks.

Looked at the website for the outfitter, interesting and sounds like a good outfitter. Looking at the picture of the 3 guys standing in front of the Land Rover, the guy on the right is shooting a 1895 Winchester. Sure would like to know the caliber. Maybe he is a relative of Teddy using a "big medicine", 405 Winchester.

To correct my earlier comment based on phone conversations early in January, I note on his website this comment.

Wilderness Safaris

BOOKING NOW 2024, 2025

..

The 2024 season is almost fully booked, and now taking bookings for 2025. It is also possible to arrange hunts at short notice.



As it's the Safari show season in Jan and Feb no doubt available spots may being booked soon.
