A 375-caliber rifle is the minimum legal requirement to hunt a Cape buffalo. Professional hunters (Guides) are required to have a dangerous game hunt license.

Cape Buffalo is now widespread across the Eastern Cape. Generally, Buffalo hunting in South Africa is in high-fenced areas, and the size of the area varies widely.

If you want authentic free-range Cape Buffalo, you will need your African safari to be in other southern African countries like Zimbabwe or Mozambique, or alternatively in Tanzania.

However, the trade-off is that Cape Buffalo Hunt Prices in South Africa are substantially cheaper on an all-in basis.

The day rates in countries like Zimbabwe are expensive and dramatically increase the package hunt cost.

Day rates reflect the taxes and fees paid to the government. In most cases, the land is not private, and the government owns the animals.

In South Africa, most land is private, including the game, resulting in a value-for-money Cape buffalo hunting package.

Cape Buffalo hunting in South Africa is still tremendously exciting.

In particular, the Buffalo has learned to avoid humans, feed at night, and hide during daylight hours in thickly wooded areas.

Cape Buffalo is considered a dangerous game rather than a plains game, although they have all the same characteristics.

Mature Buffalo should always have a solid boss. Shot placement is critical for Buffalo hunting. Cape Buffalo is called black death for a good reason.

As with most African game hunting, shot placement should always be in the bottom third of the shoulder. As a result, a well-placed shot, a rifle of .375 caliber, is adequate for shooting the Cape Buffalo.

Nick Bowker Hunting has 375 rifles and ammunition for hunters not wishing to go through the red tape of bringing a rifle to South Africa. I’ve included for you the rifles and ammunition free of charge.

Robert Ruak famously wrote, “When coming face to face with a big Cape buffalo, he will look at you as if you owe him money”;… enough said.

A buffalo bull is the number one desired African trophy for international hunters worldwide dangerous animals to hunt.

A wounded Cape buffalo bull can sometimes circle back, wait for the hunter along its track, and charge the hunter without warning.

Loud death bellows are the best sign of a dying buffalo, but not all will give this bellow.

With age, one will find old solitary bulls move off from the herd; these Cape buffalo bulls are called “Dagga Boys” due to their enjoyment of regular mud baths, leaving caked mud on their backs, giving the appearance of dried cement (“Dagga”).

These bulls are the most challenging and fun to hunt and may sometimes form small “Dagga” buffalo groups.

A hard and solid boss for a Cape buffalo is the number one sign of a great trophy. I want you to know that your professional hunter will be invaluable here.

Sometimes, these old Cape buffalo won’t carry a spread beyond 30 inches, as horns will wear down with age. These are, in fact, the best and most memorable trophies on a buffalo trophy hunt.
