THE WEST AFRICA SAVANNA BUFFALO

The horns are smaller than other buffalos but are still heavy. The body color can vary from a reddish brown to a deep black and both color variations may be present in the same groups.

The primary method of hunting these buffalo is done by tracking them on foot. These buffalo are very brave and are known for providing an exciting and breathtaking hunt.
