I am looking for a buffalo hunt that i can take my wife on. Looking for a good hunt at resonable cost,not cheep but not over priced. Not sure if it possible.

Welcome to the forums. You are in the right place to receive the most honest and forthright infomation about the hunting industries.
I have just returned from a month in Africa and hunted my first week with Robert Zanoncelli.
Robert is a great guy, very kind and an absolute professional about giving you the hunt you want. He guides in Botswana regularly and had only just returned when L. David Keith who posts on these boards put us in contact together.

Robert is a family man and I have met his wife and children and can see true family values there.
He is also very good about photographing properly your trophies and worked passionately for me in helping me find better trophies than I had asked for. If you need any added information please let me know and I will forward whatever you need.

Chris,

Welcome to the Forums, you will get the facts here. I did a buffalo hunt in the Okavango with Greg Butler Safaris, PH was Gareth Flemix, in July and it was spectacular (though I am woefully behind on filing my report to AR). I’m sending PM on the way for more details if interested. A Botswana buffalo hunt will be more expensive than Zim or perhaps Tanzania but the experience in the Delta is worth the price.

there are dozens of places you can take you wife along. it depends on her. some camps can be rather rough and some match 5 star hotels. The fancier the place the more it costs. My wife goes everywhere with me. she enjoys the bush and seeing things as they are. You'll get many suggestions here, look them over with her, and don't be afraid of politics, crime etc. Outside of the big cities it mostly doesn't exist. RSA will have the accommodations with the most modern and fanciest places. Zambia and tanz. will most bush like. botz. and namb. are between. Zim will be the cheapest, but the people left there are probably the most experienced. Look them all over. a great experience will await both of you

I have hunted multiple times with Mark Kyriacou in the Okavango Delta. The Delta is spectacular, the camps are very nice and I have taken my Wife with me, although not on my Buffalo hunt. This year three of us took very nice buffalos there. His website is: http://biggameandbirdsafaris.com

I have hunted in the Okavango Delta with Mark Kyriacou's outfit. Grant Albers was our PH ans we also had Mark's son, George (also a PH) assisting us.

We saw buff in the thick stuff while elephant hunting and they scared the bejeezus out of me just with the way they look at you and the uncanny watyy that three can be standing thirty yards away and you have to look hard to see the big black things!

I'd certainly recommend Mark - he organised everything down to the smallest detail and everyone he has working for him from the PH, down to the laundry service was spot-on. It was my only African hunt so far but I'll be back.

While in the Delta, I'd suggest adding a licence for Red Lechwe - native there and in good numbers, an entertaining hunt if you like getting wet and a beautiful trophy. Make good eating too!

I really like the bushbuck photo.
