Just won a Buffalo hunt!

Congrats on your good luck. Africa all started for me by winning a trip with a picture of Dakota and a elk on this very site.

Have a great trip
 
I know the minimum caliber for DG is 375. Does it matter if it's 375h&h or 375 Ruger?
 
Nope....both will work fine. 375 Ruger is a newer cartridge a couple hundred feet per second faster. The 375 H&H is the old reliably historic cartridge of Africa. Probably easier to find 375 H&H ammo in Africa should you need to. Your choice.

That is what I figured. Thanks
 
the drawing took place at our sci banquet! Way cool. We hunted with numzaan last year and had a great hunt. Saw some really nice buff's as well.
 
Congratulations Matt! I just watched the drawing on FB. She tried to give it to someone else!! Lol. Kevin
 
Congratulations! Of course you have now been infected with the buffalo hunting virus and will have to get "just one more":)) Seriously, enjoy the great opportunity and let all of us envious bastards know how things are going. Shoot straight and once!

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
