Buffalo Hunting
Northwestern Buffalo are scientifically classified and commonly known to hunters as the Western, or West African Buffalo.
These Buffalo are endemic to the northern savannah regions. In the southern forested areas of Cameroon, you will find the Forest buffalo , also known as the Dwarf Buffalo, which are distinguished by horn shape, color and size.
Northwestern Buffalo are smaller than the well-known Cape Buffalo, but many experienced big game hunters often consider the Northwestern Buffalo to be more aggressive and unpredictable than Cape Buffalo. Bottom line, this Buffalo hunt is going to be action packed exceptionally dangerous.
Buffalo shot placement when hunting in Cameroon for Northwestern Buffalo is going to be no different to on a Cape Buffalo hunt. Make the first shot count.
Western Roan Hunting
Roan antelope, with their pale reddish-brown fur and black and white masked faces are one of Africa’s favorite plains game hunts. Both male and female Roan have horns enabling Roan to defend themselves from predators patrolling the African landscapes.
In Africa, there are six recognized sub-species of Roan, and the Western Roan is found is found in this Northern Savannah region of Cameroon in the tall grass and open woodland areas.
Roan hunts often take place in the late afternoon as Roan tend to drink at that time of day, so you and our professional hunter will be sure to check along the river banks and other water sources on the concession.
Roan are listed and classified by Cites as a species of antelope of “least concern”.

The High costs of Roan and Buffalo Hunting in Cameroon
When hunting in Cameroon and such incredible and endemic species are on offer, the reality is that a safari of this quality costs a substantial amount. When budgeting and you add the cost of the safari, plus charter flights, ground transfers, trophy fee on the Western Roan, Dip and Pack, the provisional costs would be +- US$ 52000, which would be similar to an Elephant hunting safari for big tuskers of 70 pounds plus in Namibia.
For US$ 50 000, you could go Cape Buffalo hunting in South Africa and shoot 5 x bulls. But this is not a once off elephant hunt, or a fenced Cape Buffalo hunt in SA. This is some of the best free-range hunting in Africa.
This is an incredible opportunity to go hunting for species not available anywhere else in Africa. Hunting in Cameroon is also expensive due to the short game hunting season, location, need for domestic charter flights and the costs of running a remote camp in a country with limited infrastructure.
How many hunters at the end of their hunting career can boast such incredible trophies along with so many unique and specular memories?
We have said it before, do not be the richest man in the graveyard, bank the memories and Book the Hunt. This hunt for the handful of unique big game hunters who want to take their career to the “next level.”
