My son Ben and the pilot counted over 1,000 Buffalo in a herd and another of 500 amassing on the Kasonso plains. Leaving behind them groups of dagga boys who seek the solitude of the lush swamps. The last picture is of a small group of solid old bulls all with different horn configurations and I certainly would be happy to take anyone of them. Again congrats to Ntengu Safaris for their continued efforts in conservation.

Just because l may never be able to afford the cash or my own hide (should the Ratwife find out what l was planning) it still doesn't mean l can't dream....
Thank you for sharing what will no doubt turn into a fantastic time for someone to joint you in hunting those boys....

Really cool pics!

That's great. When I was in the Omay we ran into a herd of over 200 animals. After hearing about how scattered that they were there, it was a fantastic sight.

Amazing, Thanks for the photos. Brian

Good deal...1000 buff is s good start to a recovery!

Wow, like I say when duck hunting, that is one hell of a flock a loners!!

I can smell them!

Hunting paradise; thanks for the great photos!

Someone like DSC would do well to support this success story. For the most wild Africa is collapsing but those who reclaim and rejuvenate should be rewarded or encouraged.

Good stuff Andrew!

That is Amazing!!!

I agree Andrew.

I thought this thread was going to be about Saeed's total number of buffalo kills.

Fantastic pic, Andrew

Andrew,

Fantastic pics. Hope they inspire your son's paintings. Some of my best photos, in my opinion, are buffalo through the dust of a departing herd. Waiting to see his next painting.

Amazing photos.

I feel the same way to some extent.

Awesome!

We were hunting in the Selous on a great consession with Saeed and his group, and hadn't seen a Buffalo in 3 maybe 4 days, and some complainging camp began..Saeed stepped in and graciously put a stop to the nay sayers, telling all if we went the whole hunt without seeing a buff then so be it, that was hunting..The next day we walked out on a point and a huge vuga ( grass covered valley) looked like black tics on a dog..the valley was simply covered with buffalo as far as the eye could see, the rest of the hunt was outstanding and we shot a lot of buffalo that year. I had seen a lot of buffalo in my life, but I think that was the most, I guessed over a thousand but really have no idea. The migrations up North is something to behold but Ive only seen that on TV. I suspect the pictures were in that area whan the buff come out of the park onto the Masai Mara.
