Buffalo PicturesThe African buffalo pictures here were taken in a wide variety of locations, from Umfolozi in Zululand to Zambia's Lower Zambezi National Park.Although buffalo are placid if undisturbed, they are highly dangerous when molested or wounded. It's a lot safer taking buffalo photos from a vehicle than on foot - walking into a bad-tempered old bull lurking in the undergrowth could be fatal. Rather use a telephoto lens if you're determined to get a picture of a surly buffalo giving you the evil eye. |

"Big Five" ranking
Buffalo are gregarious animals and the largest herds can swell to more than a thousand, although herds of a few hundred are more common. Because of their size and strength, and the numbers in a herd, buffalo are fairly safe from predators, including lions. It is not uncommon for a group of adult buffalo to chase off a pride of marauding lions. Good Picture Opportunities The old bulls, because of their massive horns and battle-scarred bodies, make great pictures, particularly when they stare angrily at you. To quote author Robert Ruark, they look at you like "you owe them money!" Huge herds of buffalo can be more difficult to photograph, as the animals are often moving and milling around, while it's difficult to adequately portray the size of the herd unless you're photographing from the air. Please note that we also offer Buffalo Stock Pictures for purchase with a royalty-free license while most the pictures featured here are also available as a Buffalo Photo Pack.
