Unmatched in Southern Africa
Quality of game and attention to detail. Warne and the entire Rippon family and staff are warm and inviting. You come as a client and leave as a friend. They are truly conservation minded which is a huge plus to know that you’re money is actually going we’re people say it is.
I have Zero complaints and plan to hunt BK for many years in the future.
Family experience that surpasses anything we have ever done.
There is so much more to Buffalo Kloof than the hunting. The Rippon family has deep dedication to restoring the wildlife population and we were blessed to be a part of it.
Nothing - everything was fantastic
An incredible experience
This was a first rate experience throughout my entire trip.
