Dwarf Buffalo Information
The Dwarf Buffalo is found in the equatorial forest belt of the Congo and in a narrow strip of West Africa. It inhabits the rainforest of Cameroon in the deep vegetation. Dwarf buffalo, or forest buffalo, live in small herds of no more than 20 animals. Dwarf Buffalo are principally grazers, and favor clearings within dense forest areas. Dwarf Buffalo hunting usually involves shooting at close ranges in very thick cover. Open sights or low magnification scopes and red dot sights are normally employed for this close-up hunting.
The Dwarf Buffalo is the most difficult one from the BUFFALO WORLD SLAM. Lots of people are attracted for its difficulty, but also because this hunt is a great experience. Hunting buffalo in dense cover utilizing pygmy trackers is an exciting way to hunt!
Once fresh tracks are located, the hunt will proceed into the jungle with the guide, tracking the animals. Stalking quietly and silently is essential to get a shooting chance. Sometimes the buffalo are found in the open areas during the day.
The outfitter has two color variations of forest buffalo in the area. Some a a darker more blackish color while others have more of a red tint.

Testimonials
"I booked my crocodile hunt in Mozambique through Discount African Hunts. The hunt was great and my wife and I really enjoyed the service provided by the outfitter. Everything was done very professionally and the outfitter and his group went out of their way to provide us with a wonderful experience and a great time.
If we ever go back to Africa, I am sure that we will contact Discount African Hunts to set up another hunt with this outfitter."

"I looked long and far for a good deal on a lioness hunt. By far, Discount African Hunts had the best price. I had the hunt of a lifetime and took a beautiful lioness at close range with my bow. The Professional Hunter was first class, the lodge was first class and my whole experience was unbelievable. I will book with John Martins when I return to Africa to hunt leopard in Zimbabwe.

"First, I wanted to tell you the buffalo hunt with the outfitter you booked me with was great! The PH took me to a farm where there was a good herd of buffalo and I shot a 40” old dagga boy. I could have taken another one a bit wider, 42”, with hard bosses but he did not have that old rough beat-up look I was after."
