Evelyn African Safaris

Hunting Cape buffalo is unlike anything else in Africa. Where the kudu rewards patience, the buffalo demands respect - and a steady hand.

At over 1 500 pounds (680kg), with a boss of horn forged like armour and a memory that holds grudges, an old dagga boy doesn't tolerate mistakes. He moves through the mopane in a herd of forty, or alone in the deepest thickets. The shot is rarely the hard part. Finding him on his terms is.

A buffalo hunt at Evelyn African Safaris is a hunt on foot, in close cover, where every decision matters and every step is read by your tracker before yours touches the ground. It is the kind of hunt you replay for years afterwards.

If a Cape buffalo is on your wish list for 2026 or 2027, speak to us early. Quality dagga boy hunts are limited and they go quickly.

Not everyone in your group needs to carry a rifle to fall in love with the Limpopo Valley. While the hunters are out in the field at dawn, the rest of the group can spend their morning watching the sun rise over ancient baobabs, a coffee in hand. Spend the afternoon birding in one of the richest avian landscapes in Southern Africa. Take a day trip to Mapungubwe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site just 40 minutes away - or explore Kruger National Park, only 90 minutes from our gate.

Back at Siyabonga Lodge, there's a rim-flow pool, a shaded lapa, gourmet meals, South African wine by the fire, and skies so full of stars at night that you'll stop counting.

Africa has a way of getting under everyone's skin — hunter or not. Bring the whole family. We'll take care of the rest.

This year's hunting season is open and somewhere on our over 20 000 hectares in the northern Limpopo, a buffalo is moving through the mopane. A kudu bull is stepping into the open just before last light. An eland is grazing in the shadow of a granite kopje.

The question is - will you be there?

Evelyn African Safaris offers fully tailored trophy hunts for rifle and bow-hunters, guided by a professional team with decades of experience.
We offer ethical hunting, fair chase in iconic African wilderness terrain - and a world-class lodge to come home to at the end of the day.

A great hunt isn't just about the land or the game. It's about who walks beside you.

At Evelyn African Safaris, our team has been reading this bush for decades. Thomas, Piet, Frans, and Enos - our trackers - carry knowledge that can't be learned from a book. A bent blade of grass. A scuff in the dust. The way the wind shifts over a dry riverbed. They don't just find tracks. They tell stories.

Werner Swart (in the photos, also with his wife Tania), professional hunter and the heart behind Evelyn African Safaris, makes every effort to ensure that guests not only succeed in the field, but leave with something harder to name - a deep, lasting connection to this wild corner of Africa.

When you book with us, you're not just booking a hunt. You're joining a family that has called this land home since 1988.

There's a particular quiet in the Limpopo Valley at the turn of April. The summer rains are fading, but the bush is still green and full of life. Its just the air that has started to cool. The first hint of the dry season creeping in. The grass is pulling back. The game is beginning to move differently. And somewhere out there on our 20 000 acres, the kudu, the wildebeest, zebra and many other game antelope are stepping out of the shadows.

This is our favourite time of year. The land feels like it's holding its breath before the season begins.

If you've been thinking about your 2026 hunt — this is your sign. A few prime dates are still available. Speak to us
