Water Buffalo hunts
Do you wish to experience a hunt of a lifetime?
Herdsman Adventure Safaris have secured an elite concession within Arnhemland, Northern Australia. We have got Water Buffalo coming out of our ears & they are big, fast & mean.There is over 7000 Buffalo within our concession & there is not a fence in sight. Our main hunting method is to drive the Swamps in our Panther Airboat to get up close & personal with the rogue males. many of these animals have never seen humans or machinery before.We also boast some of the largest crocodiles in the world within the Swamps of our concession. Recently a 20ft beast with a 5 ft slide was seen but not captured...

The croc's wont get ya, we give them a very wide berth. The most economical hunt is for 2 or more people. Costs around $7300US each including 1 Buffalo Bull Trophy, guides, meals , air conditioned accom, etc etc.

How much of a difference is there between your water buf and a cape buffalo you would see in Africa?

Wow we paid $1000 for our domesticated Water Buffolo Bull from a breeder here. And I can ride him. Just got to keep throwing him hay.
