Experience close up Water Buffalo hunting in genuine Arnhem Land wilderness for Australian hunters. This is not a cattle station hunt. Practice quick shooting and loading fast. Experience a tough dangerous game safari with a long term licensed outfitter. Arnhem Land terrain varies from scenic grassy hills, escarpment country, with close encounters in the thicker brush near springs, creeks and rivers.
