Most Americans opt for somewhere else in Africa for buffalo, these days usually Zimbabwe or South Africa, where the price can be half as much as in East Africa--and also usually includes some plains game.
Personally, I try to balance Alaska and Africa. Right now Africa is ahead by one trip. But I also like Canada a lot too, and have hunted up there from Quebec to British Columbia as many times as I've been to Africa AND Alaska together--and grizzlies can be hunted in Canada. The coastal bears get pretty big, even though they're not called "brown" bears.
