One heck of a deal there. If I wasnt committed for next year I would be on this
 
Thank you to the AH community for for all the interest in this offer. It really has been great getting to know members of the forum and get to talk hunting with you! We still have a few dates available next year if you have any interest in hunting with us. If your are looking for something different than the special, reach out to me and we can put something together for you. Below is a picture of an old bull we recently hunted.

That looks like a proper old bull!
 
Several weeks ago, we conducted our annual aerial surveys and it confirmed we have lots of buffalo. So, with our international hunts coming to an end for the season, we took the opportunity to meat hunt five cow buffalo with local hunters this past week. For those of you who want the thrill of buffalo hunting but don't want the cost that comes with a bull, don't discount a cow hunt as they are every bit as exciting. We get just as close as we do to bulls and the cows are often in larger groups making the stalk more difficult.

While hunting cows, I was able to photograph this old bull. He isn't as wide as some, but has a good drop, great bosses, and very worn tips. It is an excellent example of the mature bulls we target on our hunts and a trophy anyone should be excited about.

Happy New Year AH community!

I was fortunate enough to be a PH on 31 buffalo hunts in 2024 which I summarize in the short video link below. Please note, I am only reporting the statistics from our hunts and certainly not advocating for any specific caliber (I know how gun talk can be a lot like politics, religion, etc. :D). I have always stressed a good first shot is what is most important. I hope you enjoy the video and I look forward to hunting with several of you in 2025!

Thanks to all of you who have already booked this hunt. We are so excited to host several AH members in 2025 and can't wait for the season to get underway! We have booked our intended number of hunts for this special but we still have a few remaining dates available in 2025 that we would like to fill. With that, I can offer several more of these hunts if they are taken between the following dates: 1-9 March or 5-24 Aug. If you have an interest, please let me know and we can set up a time to discuss in more detail. Thank you for your consideration.

Very interested in 2025 opportunity. Sent Message
 
I returned a week ago from 7 days with Mpeti. See my trip report. It was a great hunt and all as in the offer. Conrad and the team did an excellent job.
 
I recently returned from my own Buffalo hunt with Mpeti Safaris as well, I think maybe a couple of weeks prior to blackdog001. I can echo his praise, it really was a fantastic experience. They all worked very hard for me to get my first Buff, and I couldn't be happier. You can check out my report on the forum as well.

Great video about the cartridges used.

Your sample size with the 416 is small but they were all one shot kills.

The 375 required a lot of finishing shots, but no buffalo was lost if I understood correctly.

Thanks for posting this information.
