Buffalo are famous for circling the hunter and charging, with the intent to gouge you to death. These animals are dangerous and unpredictable.

The return charter cost will be approximately $5000 (subject to change), but this can be less if there are any hunters sharing. Please note that the charter would need to be booked at least 2 months in advance and must be paid in cash on the day of your flight or pre-paid by transfer.
