Home > About BUFFALO


BUFFALO International Logistics is a China-Africa online trade logistics service provider. Our aim is to provide cost-effective one-stop logistics and distribution services for cross-border online trade between China and Africa, as well as for online retail trade within Africa. We offer the most direct and fastest sales channels for consumers in Africa and China. Our business model is similar to that of SF Express (self-built warehouses and self-operated trunk transportation) and Cainiao (self-built information system).


BUFFALO focuses on comprehensive logistics services from China to the African continent and local logistics distribution in Africa. Our headquarter is located in Shanghai, and our African branch is based in Johannesburg, the largest financial and trade center city in South Africa. With a total area of 35,000 square meters, our integrated warehouses include a bonded warehouse of 6,500 square meters. We have a local delivery network in Africa and provide express delivery and overseas warehousing services between China and Africa, offering end-to-end logistics solutions for cross-border e-commerce. Currently, BUFFALO has achieved significant development and has become a leader in the field of China-Africa cross-border e-commerce, with a market share of the e-commerce small package market from China to South Africa ranking first.


Since its official operation in April 2017, BUFFALO's information management system has been seamlessly integrated with the South African customs system, South African banking system, and several express companies in South Africa. With a fleet of 300 self-owned transportation vehicles, we have established a fully self-operated cross-border e-commerce logistics and distribution service from China to South Africa. In October 2022, BUFFALO purchased 25,000 square meters of land, the former headquarter of Lufthansa in South Africa, as its new sorting center to further enhance our logistics capabilities. This will enable us to process orders more quickly and efficiently, providing better service experience to our customers.


BUFFALO not only has a large-scale team responsible for the entire transportation process, achieving the fastest delivery time of 6 days from China to South Africa, but also has a strong customs clearance team in South Africa. We are the logistics company with the lowest inspection rate and the highest pass rate in the Johannesburg airport customs over the years.


In the future, the company will continue to focus on online retail logistics services in South Africa, and expand to commodity retail business, helping to achieve the goals of millions of African entrepreneurs. We are committed to becoming a global e-commerce supply chain group with significant influence.
