7-Day Buffalo Hunt Package – KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
One Hunter, One Observer | One Buffalo Bull (39"–43")

Experience the raw intensity and tradition of dangerous game hunting with this exclusive 7-day Cape buffalo hunt, set in the scenic and game-rich province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. This premier safari is designed for one hunter and one observer, offering a balanced blend of adrenaline, comfort, and African wilderness immersion.

Hunt Overview:
This package includes the opportunity to harvest one mature Cape buffalo bull with a spread between 39 and 43 inches, a highly sought-after trophy for the discerning hunter. Your pursuit takes place across diverse KwaZulu-Natal terrain, from dense thickets to open savannah and rolling hills. Each day begins before dawn, accompanied by a seasoned professional hunter (PH), expert trackers, and support staff who bring generations of bush knowledge to your hunt.

This hunt takes place on a 17,000-acre concession in Kwazulu-Natal. This game reserve gets very little hunting pressure, and it's an incredible experience to hunt in an area that has seen little to no human interaction. The area has a lot of mixed terrain, from open grassy plains in parts to deep valleys and mountains in others. There are many patches of thick bush that are spread across the area. This concession also hosts 4 out of the big 5, with only lions not being present here. There is a very high amount of animals present on this concession, in particular blesbuck, zebra, kudu, blue wildebeest, eland, and red hartebeest. The most exceptional trophies to come out of this concession are kudu, eland, red hartebeest, blesbuck, and wildebeest.
Eland bulls here are old and have the in-demand fringe and the body size that hunters are after. . There is an abundance of Cape buffalo as well that range from 40'' up to 48''

The area has 4 of the big 5 on this concession and you will likely see the resident hippos and crocodiles out while hunting.
You'll track on foot, glass over valleys and riverines, following fresh spoor and signs of buffalo movement, often navigating thick cover and testing your patience, skill, and nerve—hallmarks of a true buffalo safari.

After a full day in the bush, return to your luxury safari lodge, where rustic charm meets modern comfort.
