I just returned from a 7 day cape buffalo hunt with pierre van tonder safaris in tanzania(hunting block R2 in the selous) from the staff in camp to the food and the hunting area was excellant,my ph was wikus groenwald,a very knowledgable ph and a very nice guy,i shot a very nice 40" cape buf with my 416 weatherby,i had a great time,i just want to thank again pierre van tonder,jeff martinell and kathi klimes,if anyone wants to hunt cape buffalo pierre van tonder safaris is the place to go...

Come on you can do better than that. How about some photos and tell us about your buff hunt

Oh please, your killing me, I just got back from hunting with Wikus a little over a month ago. I need some details and photos, pleeeeze.

how was your fees? were they incresed or the same , and please we need to see photos of
a 40" buff. congrats.

The fees were the same,i will post the photos soon,the bufs horns have a nice deep drop and they curl up very nice.

Congratulations. That Wikus has the right touch for buff. I am sure you earned it - he will take you on a death march once in a while.

Can't wait to see the pics!

I'm Very happy, finally, you had your Tanzania's Buffalo hunt

WOW...very nice indeed. Now that is one of the nicest buff I ...well have seen pictures of. I love those deep curls. Good job and it will inspire those of us that have yet to hunt one of their own. Thanks for posting.

Congratulations, Very nice trophy indeed.

Excellent looking buff.

great buffalo! What type of bullets did you use in your Weatherby? jorge

I used barnes tsx 400grain,they performed flawlessly.

Great Job, my friend!! I wish I had been able to go with you.

Kindest Regards,
L2S

Thanks luv2safari,how are you feeling,i havent talked to you in sometime i hope things for you are well,thanks again and all the best to you...............

The surgery worked, and the cancer is gone...with all the rest of my $$$$$

Thats great news,everything worked out well....

Did you connect on any PG while there? What did you see...??

Congratulations ,buffalo hunting is one of my favorites sports ,but here in Argentina we only have 3 species of water buffalo

Hey, that camp looks familiar! Congrats on a great buff, really gorgeous! Lee.

Nice capebuff,capebuf.I hope I get one just as nice as that.

You weren't kidding, those drops and curls are great.

The camp looks terrific as well.

Kyler

That's a fantastic buff. Very classic and mature.

NICE buff!

John

I could not be happier that you got a very nice buffalo. I know you put yourself through some angst before booking. Glad it worked out as you had hoped for.

Mark

That is a great looking old Bull.

I posted before but everytime I look at that buff it excites me. His horns have so much curl I don't think he could "hook" you if he tried. That is a buff for the front cover of the top african hunting magazine if I ever saw one. I hope you have a room for a full mount because that is one awesome trophy.

Woody

I agree with you! Wikus is a fine young man and so is Clinton. I hunted with them in 9-06. They will make you lose weight with the death march walks!!!!

Woodrow s thanks for the compliment,i thank everyone for there nice compliments,that would be nice if a top african hunting magazine would put that on the cover of there magazine,how can we make that happen???

Contact the editor of Sports Afield. She LOVES to hunt cape buffalo and she just might take you up on it! Well done.

Congratulations.
I want to do a buffalo hunt, stories and pics like yours are pushing me closer.
Looking for a partner, hard to find someone with the same goals and financially able to do a hunt.

Well done -nice buff.

That 416Roy is an awesome cal too!

philny1, I had a partner who backed out, but I went anyway. Hunt of a lifetime. Nothing wrong in going solo. You get the best animals for yourself...
