Upcoming Buffalo Safari in SA

[Custom]

Starting to prepare for my upcoming buff hunt in earnest! Leaving on July 18, headed to meet up with my friends at Somerby Safaris. 7 day safari, focused on buffalo but will add some plains game to the menu if I score early on nyati. Have pricing on sable and waterbuck, among others. Family is coming down week two for a couple of photo safaris and a few days in Cape Town. Man, the days are starting to drag!

Any of you forumites on the July 18 flight from ATL to Joberg?

Custom you will have an adventure hunting the buff. I've met Drom with Somerby Safaris a couple of times in Kansas City and Witchita and he seems like a good guy. I look forward to reading your hunt report.

Thanks, CAustin. I believe it will be a great adventure. Drom and his wife are good friends with my taxidermist, which is how I made the connection. I interviewed a number of safari operators and all of them would have been great choices. What tilted me to Drom is that he bids on buffalo hunts on some of the national parks where there are only a few hunts allowed.

Good luck on the hunt. Buff is my next DG hunt. Please post photos and a hunt report. The last month before the hunt seems to take forever.

I will post my adventure here for sure. This is likely to be my only DG hunt, so I pkane to make the most of it.

I suggest you have a member of your party film the whole thing. I'm taking a GoPro on the next hunt. Pictures are great but video is even better.

 

[Custom]

I have thought about that. I checked into professional filming but talked myself out of it based on price. I am going solo on the buff hunt, so just me, PH and tracker. Don't have a GoPro, but am familiar with them. You going to run it yourself?

 

[petrusg]

Good luck and looking forward to the pics...

 

[Warbird782]

Put the GoPro on the Trackers head.

 

[Muskox man]

Sounds exciting. Looking forward to the hunt report. Take lots of pics and shoot straight.

 

[johnnyblues]

Great idea to have a tracker with the go pro mounted. But they do sell a gun attachment for it.

Best of luck by the way! I hope you shoot the buff of your dreams!
