Cull hunts are good fun. One thing to consider though is the maximum weight of ammunition you can carry on your flight, especially if you are going to bring in heavy rounds like .458. It isn't hard to go through 5 kg of ammo, especially if you are not only hooking into the buffalo but also pigs, donkeys etc. You can of course get ammunition in Darwin, but you might want to organise in advance to get the one laid in that you want if it is a less-common load.
