​The Cape buffalo is one of Africa’s most impressive big game animals.  A member of the “Big Five”, the Cape buffalo can be a lethal adversary and a challenging animal to hunt.   To paraphrase Robert Ruark - “they look at you like you owe them money”.  

There are no seasonal restrictions on hunting the Cape Buffalo in South Africa, which makes it a suitable trophy year round. There are some Cape buffalo on private ranches, but the best trophy size and larger herds are found in the famous Timbabvati, Klaserie and Balule nature reserves, which adjoin the park.  Permits there are quite limited, but trophy quality is unmatched elsewhere.

The success rate in these special areas has run 100% during recent years and these concessions produce extremely good trophies, some over 45 inches in spread.
