Buffalo in Kruger National Park — A Complete Guide

By Mike Lawrie

Buffalo are the most reliably-seen Big 5 species in the Greater Kruger. Herds of 100-500 dominate the central grasslands; old solitary bulls — dagga boys — water along rivers year-round. They surprise first-time safari guests most, not because they're rare but because the experience of being in front of a moving herd is more powerful than the photographs suggest.
