Greetings/First time Cape buffalo hunt

[sureshot375]

Welcome!!

Another Georgian here. I’m in middle Ga, what about you?

No shortage of good places to hunt buff. It really just comes down to what kind of experience you are looking for.

Welcome aboard. Lots of good info and plenty of folks with lots of buff hunting experience. I am also in Georgia, quite a few of us Georgians here. I’ll be headed to Namibia in August for my third buff hunt. If I can help in anyway just let me know. Best of luck in planning your hunt.

I'm in Macon. How about you? This is a great forum!

Thanks! Which outfitter are you going?

I’ll be hunting with Thormalen and Chochran in their Caparivi area. I’ll be after buff and non-exportable elephant.

Thanks! Which outfitter are you going?

I can highly recommend Tsala Hunting Safaris! I went on my first safari in June and they far exceeded expectations in all ways!

I've hunted buffalo and plains game twice - 2011 Zimbabwe Zambezi Valley and 2016 Mozambique Niassa Province. My wife is a glamper - we have an Airstream and only stay at rv resorts. She came along on both safaris and tracked all day long with us every day. Tented en-suite accommodations.

We are going to Zimbabwe for Elephant this summer with Tokoloshe. We will spend a few days in Victoria Falls prior to going on to the hunting concession. I would talk it through with your wife and determine what works for you both.

We had spoken to Thormahlen and Cochran back in 2020 right before covid hit to do a hunt similar to what @Reza7700 is doing. That is a very good option too, but may require an extra flight vs. Vic Falls.

I don't have any knowledge on SA but plan to hunt there in the future.

I’m just down the road in Dublin. I’m in Macon quite a bit.

Hello there!

I am a new member on the forum. I should have joined years ago but better late than never.

I live in Georgia and after many years of deer/elk etc North America hunting, have finally decided to do an Africa trip for Cape buffalo.

I know absolutely nothing about this so any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am attending the Dallas Safari Club convention this weekend in Atlanta. There are going to be dozens of different outfitters as many of you all already know, and I would like some advice on how to pick the right outfitter before writing a check.

Some basic info that might be helpful in your recommendations are:

I can do the trip alone or with family. I am guessing if I take the wife, I would be limited to South Africa and I'm guessing she and the kids would be hanging in the main city while I do the hunt for a few days.

I would like to experience the real deal but am I correct in saying that that would require me to go outside of SA which would probably be a solo trip?

Are the buffalo hunts in SA all fenced in? I know that the properties could thousands of acres so does that really make it significantly different experience than a buffalo hunt in another open range area?

Any way, thanks in advance for your input!

Best,
Reza
