Buffalo hunting in Africa is a thrilling and exciting dangerous game hunting safari, with various species available, depending on where you are enjoying your game hunting in Africa. The African buffalo has two distinctive subspecies, one being the Southern Savanna Buffalo (Syncerus caffer caffer). Three forms of the Savanna buffalo are recognized, including the West African savanna buffalo (Syncerus caffer brachyceros).

The habitat of this buffalo species includes woodlands, savannas, grasslands, forests, swamps, and floodplains. Their diets are herbivorous, including grasses, leaves, herbs, reeds, and aquatic plants. 

The buffalo herds are more active feeding at night while drinking early morning and late afternoon and spending the heat of the day resting in shaded areas.

 Predators of this mighty buffalo species include lions, spotted hyenas, wild dogs, as well as the Nile crocodile.

The West African savanna buffalo is listed as “least concern” according to the IUCN.
