Buffalo Safaris

As the jeep makes its way on the dusty roads, suddenly it comes to a stop. The ranger motions you to stay quiet. The next second, he points to a bush where a family of lions is busy watching the zebras grazing nearby. All the while, there are also wildebeest and antelopes lurking by. 

With short coarse hair and a permanent angry look on their faces, Cape buffaloes appear hostile towards everyone and everything around them. These large bovines display imposing horns shaped like question marks, which come in handy when they need to protect themselves against predators, to make way through the herd or to fight for dominance.

Whether you’re an experienced birder or just getting your feet wet with birding, chances are the immense Amazon basin is already on your bucket list.

For most travelers heading to South Africa, exploring the Garden Route is high on their bucket list.
