About this hunt

Come enjoy the ultimate African Big 5 hunting experience pursuing Cape Buffalo! A truly worthy adversary, the Cape Buffalo’s reputation precedes it as one of the most dangerous hunts not only in Africa, but throughout the world. Hunts will be conducted by driving through the property in a custom Land Cruiser hunting vehicle until game is spotted, when the final stalk will take place on foot. We also have over 20 plains game species available to hunt, which allow for ample hunting opportunities during your stay. Guests will personally be guided by Nicolas, the owner, outfitter and professional hunter. You will have exclusive use of the property and will not waste any time driving to and from different concessions to hunt every day. We recommend 7 – 10-day hunts, which should give you plenty of time to hunt a buffalo as well as additional species on your wish list. We can also organize additional activities such as Big 5 photo safaris, spa treatments, helicopter rides, and more.
