SITE CONTAINS HUNTING PICTURES OF WILD GAME   

Hunting & Conservation:  In remote Arnhem Land the Aboriginal landowners and Northern Land Council manage their wild resources for income.  Sustainable utilization of 'wild' Water Buffalo is a fantastic renewable resource of food, exports & incomes, for landowners & families.  Hunters are responsible citizens who don't just talk about it, we work, we fund conservation and anti-poaching, for animals and environment management.

​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. 

Only a handful of outfitters conduct hunts in Arnhem Land.  We guide and operate in NLC s19 licensed concessions.  We do it right, and have earned respect by elders and authorities, as a trusted hunting consultant and guiding team.  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   A basic moveable camp, set close to the 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.  Enjoy 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. 

FLY CAMPS   Sometimes a fly camp is used, swagging it, when on the move to new country.  Real hunters will enjoy this exploring and trekking into wilderness, after Buffalo who have often never seen humans before.

Around a campfire, 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   Arnhem Land concessions are big, with minimal tracks, good areas have 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, a possibility of Scrub Bull (wild ox, toro) and 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.  Banteng safaris are in north west Arnhem Land, the NLC licensed WAS concession is productive walk and stalk hunting, from a classic tent safari camp.  It is a much smaller concession, but has good numbers of wild Banteng, these are a beautiful species, and also dangerous game.

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.  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. 

Our guiding team will deliver in 2026 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, daypack 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 2026.
