The Cape Buffalo is considered by some to be the most dangerous of all of the Big Five. While he seems docile enough when viewed undisturbed in the herd, when agitated or wounded this bovine can be extremely aggressive, vindictive, and cunning. This South African Cape Buffalo hunt takes place on a 25,000 – 30,000 acre, privately owned hunting concession. There is a large herd of 300-400 buffalo on this hunting ranch.
