The Legend of the Cape Buffalo

The Cape buffalo is one of Africa’s toughest and most unpredictable animals. Mature bulls can weigh up to 900 kg and are known for their heavy bosses, deep curls, and fearless attitude. Many hunters consider buffalo to be the number one dangerous game animal due to their:

• Incredible strength

• Thick skin and massive bone structure

• Unpredictable behavior

• Ability to charge when wounded

Hunting a buffalo with Berg to Bush Safaris is not just an adventure—it's a challenge that demands focus, accuracy, and respect.

Where the Hunt Happens: Limpopo’s Premier Buffalo Territory

Our buffalo hunts take place in Limpopo Province, one of South Africa’s most productive and beautiful hunting regions. The terrain ranges from mopane bushveld to thick riverine forests, providing the perfect conditions for tracking dagga boys and herd bulls.

We hunt on well-managed, ethically run concessions that produce:

• Old bulls with hardened bosses

• Massive bodies and strong horn structure

• True walk-and-stalk hunting experiences

The Berg to Bush Buffalo Hunting Experience

1. Early Morning Tracking

Hunts begin at sunrise, when our trackers follow fresh spoor through the bush. This is where the adventure begins—on foot, following the signs, listening for movement, and working your way closer to the herd.

2. The Stalk

When we locate a trophy bull, the stalk begins. Wind direction, cover, and silence become crucial. You’ll often close the distance to 60–80 meters before taking a shot. This intensity is what buffalo hunting is known for.

3. The Shot

We recommend using:

• .375 H&H

• .416 Rigby

• .458 Lott

Buffalo are incredibly tough animals. Even a well-placed shot may require a follow-up. Your PH will guide you through every step to ensure safety and success.

4. The Follow-Up

This is where adrenaline peaks. A wounded buffalo can disappear into thick bush or turn back on its tracks. Our team is highly trained in dangerous game situations, ensuring the follow-up is controlled and professional.
