Pieter specializes in hunting on free-range Government Reserves – allowing every hunter to hunt in an unfenced and more challenging environment. Concessions in South Africa are malaria-free, not over-hunted and offer a variety of excellent trophy quality, along with spectacular views. South Africa also offers excellent plains game hunts for hunters wanting to add species before or after their buffalo safari.
This Cape Buffalo hunt in South Africa offers a proper dangerous game safari in wild, challenging country. Hunters can expect tough tracking, close encounters, and the chance to pursue one of Africa’s most respected game animals with an experienced professional hunter. For hunters looking for cape buffalo hunting in South Africa, Loskop offers a free-range hunt with a more challenging, old-style feel.
Cape Buffalo are tough animals and can be unpredictable, which is why they have earned the nickname “Black Death.” A good shot is important, and hunters need to be patient and listen to the PH. Before the hunt, it is worth reviewing Cape Buffalo shot placement, especially for hunters new to buffalo.
The hunt is done on foot where possible, using tracks, wind, and cover to get into position. You will be guided by experienced professional hunters and trackers who know the area and understand buffalo behavior.
Loskop is a good area for Cape Buffalo hunting, with rough country, thick bush, and enough open ground to make the hunt interesting. The terrain can be challenging, which is part of what makes it a proper buffalo hunt.
The area has a mix of hills, bushveld, and open plains, with good wildlife numbers. It is a practical, no-frills hunting destination for hunters who want a serious Cape Buffalo hunt in South Africa..
Accommodation is in comfortable safari camps situated just outside the government reserves. The hunting itself takes place on strictly protected government reserve concessions, used only by authorised hunters.
The lodges are practical and comfortable, with a mix of brick-built buildings and thatched safari-style units. Each camp has its own character, with a relaxed bushveld feel and the basic comforts needed after a long day in the field.
Pieter’s staff are there to look after hunters during their stay, from arrival through to departure, making sure meals, camp arrangements, and day-to-day details are taken care of.
These Cape Buffalo hunts are run with conservation and community support in mind. Part of the proceeds from the hunt goes back into local conservation work and community projects.
Pieter’s work in the area includes building and repairing roads, rehabilitating waterholes, building dams for wildlife, and installing solar panels and water pumps. He also supports local communities by helping with meat and water distribution, encouraging donations to the Wildlife Africa Conservation Foundation, and assisting with facilities such as schools where these are identified by the conservancy community.
Local people are also employed and trained as trackers, skinners, chefs, and camp attendants, which means the hunting operation supports jobs and skills development in the area.
Pieter and his team follow local and international hunting regulations and are committed to ethical, sustainable hunting practices. Hunts can also be adjusted where possible to include extra days, additional guests, or extra animals. The team will assist with basic trophy preparation after the hunt.
South Africa is not regulated with regards to a specific hunting season and hunting can take place all year round. The cooler months, which run from April to October are preferred. In summer, the temperatures are just to high which can make hunting even more of a challenge. The months of November through to February are also the rainy season. Rain showers and bad weather can continue for days, literally placing a "damper" on the hunting safari.
To import a firearm into South Africa for the purpose of Sport Hunting, you will need to complete a SAPS 520 form. International hunters bringing their own rifles will need to provide copy passports, copy airline tickets, letter of invitation from Wesley and proof of ownership. (Customs declaration form 4457 for US citizens)
