Cape buffalo · Zimbabwe

Follow the old tracks.

We hunt buffalo on foot, looking for old dugga boys. Finding a track is the start; staying with it and getting a proper look at the bull can take hours, sometimes days.

The experience

In Buzz’s words.

“CMS is known for focusing on age rather than spread.”

01

Find an old bull

Our focus is age. A wide set of horns alone does not make a bull the right one.

02

Stay on the tracks

Some tracks are lost and others lead nowhere. Walking is a large part of a buffalo hunt.

03

Get a proper look

Your PH needs to see the bull well enough to judge him. There will be animals we leave.

The landscape

Dande and the Lowveld.

Dande has thick jesse, river valleys and broken country. In the South West Lowveld we also hunt old bulls on foot. Tell us the sort of hunt you want and we will discuss the area and time of year.
