​Arnhem Land Wilderness


 

ABORIGINAL OWNED ARNHEM LAND  has thousands of wild water buffalo being a valuable renewable income for the land owners.  Arnhem Land is within the tropical Northern Territory, situated well east of the city of Darwin and massive Kakadu National Park.  Arnhem Land consists of almost 100,000 sq km of wilderness and bush country (36,000 sq miles).. the size of Hungary or Portugal.!   Arnhem Land is one of the worlds last frontiers, where some aboriginal people live off the land in small communities, hunting, fishing, local jobs and following traditional values.  There are small towns mostly around the coast, but 99% is bush, no farms, no fences, no sealed roads.  A place where time stands still.  We operate in NLC s19 licensed concessions with correct Company and Guide licenses, and safari clients carry their NLC Access permit for safari hunting, and International Visitors Firearms License.  We do it right, and have earned respect by elders and authorities, as a trusted hunting consultant and safari guides.  Your ultimate experience will take you on a RARE journey into this outback wilderness, of flood plains, wild bush, escarpments, scenic rivers, streams and fresh water springs.  Amazing, untamed, like Africa 200 years ago.

Tented Camps

 

TENTED SAFARI CAMPS   Moveable camps are located near excellent numbers of Buffalo.  Our passion is the older traditional ways, so real hunters will enjoy classic safari camps, green canvas tents, wood tables, canvas and wood safari chairs, lanterns, and a step back in time.  After a hard day in the field, you will arrive back to camp, safety first, store the unloaded rifles, then relax as the snacks and cold drinks appear... the first will not even touch the sides.  Off with the Courtney safari boots, and time for a breather.  The assistant already has the shower water heating up.  The dust, sweat and dirt is washed off as the sun goes down.  A new person with rejuvenated muscles will appear, and a good meal of specially charred steak and crisp vegetables, complimented with a southern Australia cabernet sauvignon or merlot. (camp liquor license in place).  Our night sky is amazing, as the Southern Cross appears amongst hundreds of bright stars. 

Hunters discuss the excitement of the day, new hunt plans, fine rifles, calibers, conservation and hunting all over the world.  Our recreations take us to many beautiful places, great memories, and hunters support conservation and the local economy wherever we go.  Australian Buffalo Hunters with get your safari plans in motion, for real hunting and genuine wilderness.

Vast Concessions

 

HUNTING CONCESSIONS   The Arnhem Land concessions are big, with minimal tracks, many 100s of Water Buffalo, and plenty of exploring.  A variation of fantastic wilderness, outback country, escarpments, good creeks, rivers, streams and springs for our tropical safari camps, and for the 4x4s to explore.  You will see small and larger herds of Water Buffalo, lone old Bulls and small groups of Buffalo bulls, some Scrub Bull (wild ox, toro), and occasional Wild Boar.  With luck you may also see Dingo, Kangaroos, Wallabies, Emus, Fresh Water Crocodiles.  It is not easy hunting, as this country is vast and rugged, and we have to find the Buffalo.  We do not have a network of tracks, no dams, no troughs and no hides,.. this is wilderness.  Explore by rugged 4x4, then hunt on foot with your classic double or bolt rifle at hand.  The Banteng safaris are in north west Arnhem Land, the NLC licensed WAS concession is productive walk and stalk hunting, from a classic tented bush camp.  It is a much smaller concession, but has good numbers of wild Banteng, these are a beautiful species, and also dangerous game.  As mentioned, these safari areas are NLC section 19 licensed land use areas.  Refer to the FAQ for more information.

Dangerous Game

DANGEROUS GAME    Our professional hunters and clients have stopped over 40 charges of Water Buffalo, Scrub bull and Banteng coming fast.  Asiatic water buffalo bulls weigh between 700kg and 900kg, even up to 1000kg (2200lb).  Like most wild animals they can appear calm or run off, yet if wounded or cornered Water Buffalo can be just as tough and nasty as Cape Buffalo.  Yes a charge is very rare, and often unexpected, as adrenaline can make a wounded bull seam unstoppable.  We've also had cows suddenly charge to protect their young, and have seen other bulls charge to protect a downed bull.  Every year or two we hear of someone injured or smashed by a Water Buffalo.  Hunters should always be backed up by a large caliber rifle in hand, using premium ammunition, and someone skilled at stopping a CLOSE up charge in an instant.!!  Please enjoy our website and information. 

 

Covid years were tough, outfitters around the world tried to keep their concessions and safari companies running properly.  Thank you for your support..!!  Australian Buffalo Hunters were back on tracks in 2022.  We now received more questions about buffalo and banteng, concessions and permits, resulting in more bookings than ever before.  We have been planning safaris and guiding clients for 28 years, full-time, honest and ethical.  We do it right, and welcome back many repeat customers.  Our guiding team will deliver in 2025 and well into the future, with exciting adventures, and getting you up close on many huge water buffalo.  Pull on the safari boots, grab the ammo belt, pack and binos.  Load up the 375 H&H, 416 Rigby or 470 Double and let's get Buffalo hunting in genuine wilderness.

See you soon in 2025.
