  • For many, Dangerous Game Hunting remains the last frontier of those grand adventures from yesteryear. Hunting Cape Buffalo from our southern base, Woodlands Safari Estate, is arguably the finest Buffalo hunting experience in the Eastern Cape. With large numbers and weary old bulls spread across 30 000 acres, the hunter will be left in agreement with Harry Tennison, as he eloquently described the relationship between hunting and Cape Buffalo; “You don’t get engaged to a Cape Buffalo, you get married to him - for life - his or yours. Not as fast as a Lion or as rapid as a Leopard, not as large as an Elephant, not as bad-tempered as a Black Rhino, but committed to one thing - living”.
    Join our Masters of Adventure as we embarked on an open site journey with their original Westley Richards rifles and their extraordinary quest for Cape Buffalo. It’s a challenge not be taken lightly, but one to revel in. It’s the ultimate hunt, with the ultimate foe.

    The best part of the video is at 12:13 when the son says: 'Thank you dad'

    The thing I can conclude from these cape buffalo hunting videos some can shoot really well some can't.

    What i would like to point out in the video is the appreciation these young guys have , especially when after the blonde young man shot his buffalo he still had time to say thanks to his dad at 12:13. Thats what makes this video special. Well brought up young gentlemen appreciating what is made available to them. Good job guys. Lovely video.

    Just outstanding, and just when I was starting to have Eastern Cape withdrawal symptoms - because there aren't enough new John X vids coming out!!
    Thanks chaps.
    And to the young man (men) who (I'm assuming) shot his/their first inyati:
    'Ukudubula okuhle, mfondidi'.
    God bless,
    Dave

    I see hunters carrying their guns holding the barrel and stock over their shoulder. I have done tests in mill with action in vise you can bend the barrel with one finger. That is not a great ideal to carry gun that way. A sling attached to stock if the best no damage to rifle. Not a fable I have proved in real world. It is physics equal and opposite reaction. You can and will bend the barrel.

    Stopped watching when a kid who hasn’t got pubic hair yet shots a buffalo and then the whole gang playing yihaa and the kid still running around with a rifle trying to get a shot between the supposed adults.... Is it just me or is this some kind of missing link between hunting and madness? Not blaming the kid though, not his fault.
