    African Cape Buffalo Hunts: Dangerous Game Safari Packages

    Professional Outfitters, Transparent Pricing & Full Safari Support

    Why African Cape Buffalo Hunts Define Dangerous Game Safaris

    Few experiences rival the intensity of African Cape buffalo hunts. Nicknamed “The Black Death”, buffalo are considered one of the most dangerous animals to pursue on foot. Weighing up to 2,000 pounds with a reputation for unpredictability, a buffalo hunt is a true test of grit, skill, and hunter composure.

    At Game Hunting Safaris, we connect hunters with trusted African outfitters, manage permits and logistics, and ensure your safari is executed safely, ethically, and with full support from booking to trophy shipping.
