Going on Safari, Tanzania’s Big Five: The Buffalo (1)

Postcard

Cape Buffalo are said to have killed more big game hunters than any other animal in Africa and are one of Africa's most dangerous animals. On the more open grasslands, Cape buffalo appear in large herds that can number up to a thousand individuals. There are thought to be around 1 million Cape buffalo left in Africa.
