Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Zimbabwe Buffalo

Good morning,

Does anyone have recommendations on an outfitter and length of hunt for Cape Buffalo in Zimbabwe?

The outfitter I used (a good guy based in Namibia) raised his prices, and I would Like to get some additional quotes.

Thanks in advance.

I hunted with Threeways Safaris in Zimbabwe in 2012 with my father. Their main buffalo concession is located just across the river from Kruger and we each took very nice buffalo and had a great time during a 12 day hunt. Last I heard, their typical buffalo hunt is 10 days.

If they can't accommodate you, or if your heart isn't set on a Zimbabwe hunt, my place in South Africa is offering a 7x day buffalo hunt package for $13,000. The hunting area is also located just outside of Kruger and clients take some great buffalo there each year. Our success rate is very high.

If you would like more details on either place, don't hesitate to PM me.

Nixon D at SSG Safaris. He has the Malapati area, and Sengwe 1 & 2 down on the Limpopo for later in the season. Here's one I took in his Malapati area...lots of 1-3 Buff Dugga Boy groups coming out of Gonarazhou Park.

Beautiful old buff. What's the rifle and load?

John Sharp Safaris out of Bulawayo. He hunts the Bubye.

Rolly, that's a Mauser M03 take-down with the 416 Remington barrel on it. On both hunts this year, I used a Blaser Safari Pro in 375 H&H and 458 Lott.

Our buffalo with Threeways Safaris. The one on the left went 42" and the one on the right measured 37" and had 17" bosses.

Three Ways is a good outfit. One of their PHs, Quinn Kloppers was an "Appie" with John Sharp when we hunted with him. GREAT guy!

Small world: Quinn was our PH when we went there in 2012. I get the impression that he handles most of the day-to-day operations for Threeways these days.

Here's another one taken at SSG in Malapati by my friend on the same hunt...but a tad under 50"

Yow! one could hunt a lifetime and never even get close to that caliber of buffalo!

BGH: Quinn is a GREAT individual.

Jorge, Butch (BEGNO) just got back from the same camp with a 44" Buff.

Wow! they must feed them well there Biebs!

The river is just about dry, so they meander over from Gonarezhou Reserve. You never know what you'll see on any given day. Same area that Bobby (Duxdog) took his 92 lb Ele last year, the week before I arrived.

Just saw this thread.

Wow! Big time buff and a classic look. Some wouldn't like the boss not grown in or no wear on the hooks, so it might be a youngish bull, but I'd have zapped him in a NY minute.

Yup, hard to pass up a 50".

So That's how Gustav's buff from last year looked like. Congratulations to him and thanks to you, Biebs for sharing.
Best,
Jess

Hey Jess! I didn't know you frequented 24 Hr. Yes, it was a monster, for sure.

Sure do - as often as I can. It's a great site!

10-4 on that!
