Buffalo Hunting Concession in Namibia

The Kabulabula Conservancy in Namibia is characterized by the floodplains of both the Chobe and Zambezi Rivers.  The Caprivi Strip (now known as the Zambezi Area) is combination of open grassland, lush woodland forests, wetlands, rivers, and deltas. This area of Namibia is a paradise for dangerous game hunters, with large herds of Chobe Elephants, Buffalo and healthy populations of Crocodile and Hippo. This is totally free-range Africa, no fences.

Thousands of Cape Buffalo migrate up from the Chobe Reserve into this incredible hunting concession, crossing rivers and entering the grass lands at the start of the dry season. Cape Buffalo populations in this area are estimated at over 4500. There will be plenty of Buffalo to choose from on this hunt.

This trophy Cape Buffalo is fully exportable. Buffalo in this region of Namibia average in size from 38 inches to 42 inches, but they get even bigger. There is no size restriction.The Caprivi is famous for its “Dugga Boys” , with loads of character and plenty of bad attitude. Just what is expected on a Buffalo hunt in Africa.

Trophy Cape Buffalo Hunting in the Caprivi Strip

Immerse yourself in the heart of Africa with this Cape Buffalo hunt in the Caprivi Strip. This unique hunting experience offers the adrenaline rush of pursuing one of Africa’s most formidable and fearsome animals in a stunning and remote wilderness.

The Caprivi strips is a narrow piece of land which is bordered by Angola, Botswana and Zambia. The wet season is between the months of December to March. During the dry season, it is literally like pulling a plus and the basin empties. This is when the herds of Buffalo cross the waterways.

The Caprivi Strip is also famous for Crocodile hunting. In this area, these Crocodiles grow enormous and over feet is the average size.

While Crocodiles share the same territory as Hippo, you guess correctly. The Caprivi is also famous for Hippo hunts. We have hunted the Caprivi, with this same African outfitter for Hippo, and it is highly recommended.

In fact, we are going back later this year to hunt Hippo and Cape Buffalo, both non-exportable.

Having hunted with Pieter for Hippo, Buffalo and Elephant, this team of professionals is highly recommended  by the team at Game Hunting Safaris. Pieter and his team are well known and respected for offering excellent service, staff and big game hunting experiences. You will not be disappointed. Book this Hunt!!

The Ultimate Cape Buffalo Hunting Experience

Cape Buffalo are among the most dangerous, when challenged or wounded, aggressive animals in Africa. This Cape Buffalo Hunt offers a thrilling and rewarding challenge, demanding skill, patience, and determination. This team of experienced professional hunters and trackers will give advice and opinions on everything including Buffalo Shot Placement to ensure a safe, ethical, and successful hunt, thus providing you with expert guidance every step of the way.

This area of the Caprivi Strip is a unique environment to hunt  “old style” and using “traditional” hunting methods will be followed. The Buffalo hunt will take place of foot. Once a fresh track is spotted, the stalk will begin. Depending on the water levels, a Mokoro canoe may be used to cross the waterways of the Caprivi.

” Dugga Boys” love to hide out in the thick marshy areas alongside the waterways and in the thick. In this area of the Caprivi, the hunting of big game mainly takes place. i.e. Elephant hunting, Buffalo, Crocodile and Hippo. Bigger Elephants can be found up north in Bushmanland, where bigger than sixty-pound tuskers can still be found.

If you take your Buffalo early, plains game hunting can take place by making use of Pieter’s other hunting concessions. The Chobe National Park, home to more than 50000 Elephant can be visited where you can practice judging Elephant tusks measurement. The Reserve is worth a visit as it is packed with plains game such as Kudu, Impala, Puku and many more.

Cape Buffalo Hunting and Travel Planning

Traveling to the hunting grounds can be done by two ways:

• Fly in to Windhoek (Hosea Kutako) and then take a domestic flight on Air Namibia to Katima Mulilo airport. The flights operate on every odd day from a smaller airport just outside of Windhoek. As Namibia is well known for big game hunting safaris, there will not be any problems with regards to importing of rifle. The outfitter will meet you at Katima Mulilo and the transfer to the buffalo hunting grounds will take roughly two hours.
• The other option is to fly into Botswana and land at Kasane. You can fly via Airlink from Oliver Tambo airport in South Africa. The potential headache will be getting any firearms from South Africa, then in and out of Botswana to Namibia. Personally, we just recommend renting a rifle should this option be considered. The trip to the hunting lodge will then be along the Chobe River using a small, motorized boat. Having done this trip before, it really is pleasant.

Comfortable Accommodation on the Cape Buffalo Hunt

You will stay in a classic four star tented safari camp (with firepit, lapa en-suite bathrooms generated electricity and laundry service. The camp is equipped with modern amenities, offering a perfect blend of rustic charm and luxury. After a day of hunting, relax and recharge in style. 

WIFI in camp is available with internet service, as well as data roaming. From personal experience we can confirm that the food is outstanding. This chef knows how to serve five-star cuisine.
