BUFFALO
We offer 7-day packages in the Aboriginal Reserve of Central Arnhem Land Plateau Mann River in the Northern Territory of Australia. Non-hunting observers are welcome.
The animals we have available are buffalo and wild oxen. We also offer a limited number of cull buffalo safaris every season. Please contact us for details.
All touring is conducted on 4x4 All Terrain Vehicles (ATV Rhinos). You will explore many billabong and river systems, beautiful scenic areas with an abundance of native bird life and awe inspiring panoramic views from the escarpments overlooking kilometres of breathtaking scenery. We use the 4x4 ATV’s daily from base camp to explore the diversity of the terrain. Once we reach a specific location, we continue our hunt with a leisurely walk amongst scenic spring systems and tributaries of the Mann River.
You may also be interested in an Aboriginal Cultural and Scenic Tour provided by one of the Aboriginal caretakers of the land. This includes bush tucker, bush medicine and visits to some of the traditional art sites. This option is available by prior arrangement for a small additional fee; or you may wish to tip your Aboriginal Tour guide. You may also enjoy an invigorating swim in one of the many waterfall pools (no saltwater crocodiles inhabit these areas). The Aboriginal families that are the traditional caretakers of the land can also perform an Aboriginal Traditional Dance Corroboree. Local Aboriginal Articfact will also be available to purchase. Please note that prior arrangement is essential for all Aboriginal Cultural, Artifacts and Scenic Tours.
Your best choice is to charter a light aircraft or helicopter for a scenic flight to our buffalo camp in Arnhem Land. Details of the charter companies are available under Getting Here. The alternate option is a ten hour road journey to our buffalo camp at
Mann River on the Central Arnhem Land Plateau.
Our Buffalo Safari package includes all road transfers, permits, insurance, accommodation, trophy fees (various options available; for example: 1 x trophy buffalo bull and 1 x management buffalo bull per hunter; or, you may wish to include a wild ox; or, you may prefer a cull hunt; please contact us so we may tailor a hunt to suit your preferences), use of a Yamaha ATV Rhino, all meals and beverages, but alcohol is “Bring Your Own”.
We have a special liquor permit to allow the consumption of alcohol by our clients at our camps in Arnhem Land. However, all alcohol must be carried in by road by an employee of Tropical Hunting Safaris.
Also included in the package are caping and field preparation of your trophy buffalo bull ready to be sent to your preferred taxidermist, or we can recommend one. Please note that packing and shipping of your trophy is an additional cost.
We can supply large calibre rifles and ammunition at an additional cost.
For International clients bringing your own rifles, we require a minimum of 8 weeks’ notice so that we may organise all permits, licences and customs clearance prior to your arrival in Australia. This would incur a small additional fee.
