I have another album somewhere in my attic, where the photos of my other Cape buffalo hunts are. But up until I can find it, will these do ?

I have shot most of them with .375 Holland & Holland Magnum rifles over the years (till now). Except for 3 of them, which I shot with a .458 Winchester Magnum.

My favorite bullets for them used to be Federal 300Gr Trophy Bonded Bear Claw controlled expansion factory loads (which Federal been listing as ”unavailable“ on their website ever since 2018). For future Cape buffalo hunts, the Barnes 300Gr TSX factory loads seem quite promising.

My first and only bull so far, hunted last year with Wik (Game 4 Africa Safaris). Rifle is a custom .375 H&H with Barnes factory 300 TSX. It took 1 shot and the death bellow followed soon after.View attachment 545979View attachment 545980

Hi Piet,
How was your hunt with Ndumo? Did you hunt with Karl? And which area did you find the better for the hunting/buff and prefer overall?

Hi Piet,

Hi DG,

It was an amazing experience. Spent a week in the Bwabwata camp on the Kwando river which is just beautiful. I hunted with Divan Labuschagne who’s also a member here. Karl was in camp most of the week which was great. The two areas differ quite vastly in topography and I would say I prefer Bwabwata as it is just so much different to my usual hunting grounds. Both areas offer excellent tracking hunts. Happy to chat offline.

Best
