headed over for my first dangerous game Safari this summer. Been over for plains game.

Here’s the dilemma: would you rather???

1. Shoot a lion and a lioness??

2. Shoot a lion and a cow buffalo?!?
 
Hmmmm . Probably for me the lions.
 
I really don’t want a lion of either sex, but if I had to choose, it would me the male cat and the female buff. Just the thought of tracking a herd of those big black things gets me excited.
 
Assuming you are talking about doing this in South Africa.... My first suggestion would be to use the funds you have available to go on a real wild buffalo hunt someplace like Tanzania, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia, or Uganda.

But if you are determined to do it in RSA, how about a buffalo bull and lioness?

Since I have taken a Buff cow, I believe I would have to go with a lion of either sex and a Buff bull.
 
How 'bout bull and cow buf? Lions don't interest me at all.

Are these the only options available or the only options you will consider?

I choose option 3 - Bull Buffalo and then your choice of Lion or Lioness.
 
Go lion and buff option!

And the Mozambique or Zim options would easily fit the likely cost of what you are suggesting.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.
