About this hunt
This 10-day dangerous game safari offers the opportunity to hunt two of Africa’s most iconic species in a relaxed, fully guided experience. The hunt is designed for clients who value ethical, fair-chase hunting, professional organization, and sufficient time to hunt each animal properly.
The safari focuses on mature Cape buffalo bulls and hippo bulls, hunted in their natural habitats. Buffalo are hunted on foot using traditional tracking methods with experienced trackers, allowing careful evaluation before a shot is taken. Hippo hunts are conducted along rivers or dams, with strict attention to safety, wind conditions, shot placement, and local regulations.
What Makes This Hunt Stand Out
• Fully guided by experienced professional hunters
• Ethical, fair-chase hunting only
• Focus on old, mature bulls
• Well-managed hunting areas
• Relaxed 10-day schedule with no rushed decisions
Typical Itinerary
• Day 1: Arrival, rifle check, and safari briefing
• Days 2–6: Buffalo hunting on foot
• Days 7–9: Hippo hunting along rivers or dams
• Day 10: Trophy preparation and departure
The order of hunting days may vary depending on conditions and animal movement.
Why Choose This Safari
This hunt is built around quality, safety, and authenticity. Hunters are not rushed or pressured, allowing proper time for tracking, animal selection, and ethical shot opportunities. It is a classic African dangerous game safari for hunters seeking a true and memorable experience.
