The hunting grounds are dissected by the headwaters of the Mann and Wilton Rivers which give life to these vast concessions. Feeding these main rivers all year long are springs which flow out of escarpments dotted across the concessions into creeks. It is at the bottom of these escarpments amongst the many gently rolling hills, valleys and creeks that the old mature bulls roam and feed. Back along the river there are many substantial floodplains and grasslands that the buffalo feed through on their way to the river for water each day. The rivers are small, shallow
and sandy rivers lined with native gum and fig trees making for a picturesque setting wherever one might stop along the river.

Is a dangerous game safaris for Water Buffalo in Central Arnhem Land, Northern Territory Australia. Whilst on safari wild oxen/scrub bulls, wild boar, donkey and cow buffalo can also be hunted. Totalling over 1 million acres of free range pure wilderness.
Our Hunting camps are around 7-8 hours drive from the Airport in Darwin.
Our season runs from Late May through to October. Typically known in the Northern Territory as the dry season which comes after the wet monsoonal summer. By mid September the weather starts to get quiet extreme with hot and humid days. However it is still a great time to hunt buffalo as they come out of the valleys onto more permanent water sources.
The picturesque and comfortable camp is located on the banks of the Wilton River.
It is equipped with:
– New canvas tents
– Elevated beds
– Toilets
– Hot showers
– 240 volt power
– Kitchen and dining area with chef
– Wifi and satellite television
– Open fire pit
Our concessions being in the north of Australia have a subtropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons. The hunting season of May to October (dry season) consists of mostly dry cool overnight temperatures ranging from 9-14 degrees Celsius to rain free days of 24-34 degrees Celsius. The later two months of the hunting season September and October brings with it humidity and increased temperatures upto 38 degrees Celsius with the occasional storm and shower of rain.
The answer is Yes and Yes. Since the conception of Big Country Safaris we have aimed to accomodate and welcome bowhunters. Every year we guide upto a dozen bowhunters throughout the season. We love the challenge and test of patience required to place our client within 20 yards of a 1600 pound bull whilst waiting for the animal to present the perfect shot opportunity. It is a great adrenaline rush!
We recommend staying at the Argus Hotel in Darwin City or the Hilton on Mitchell St, Darwin City. booking.com is a great site to use to find accommodation in Darwin. Smith, Cavenagh and Mitchell Streets are the three Darwin City streets that many great hotels within a close proximity to the pubs, restaurants and tourist attractions can be found.
Darwin the capital of the Northern Territory is where we will pick you up from, either from the airport or your chosen accommodation. Getting to Darwin from Europe is quiet easy. We recommend flying to Singapore. From Singapore there is several flights daily into Darwin. If travelling from America we recommend you fly into any 3 of the eastern capitals, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne before catching a domestic flight to Darwin.
