The Cape Buffalo is a highly sought-after pet in the Roblox game Grow a Garden, particularly during the Mega Safari Harvest Event. This rare pet offers a powerful ability to boost your sheckle (in-game currency) profits through plant duplication.

Step 1: Reach the Community Milestone

In Grow a Garden, not every pet can be snatched up right away—and the Cape Buffalo is one of those special few. This Rare-tier companion is part of a Major Pet Unlock that happens only during the limited-time Mega Safari Harvest Event.

To make it available, the entire player community must work together to reach a massive collective milestone. You can’t buy the Cape Buffalo until the community hits its goal—so every point counts!

  • Pet Rarity: Rare
  • Required Milestone: Around 195 Billion Points (the target can vary slightly depending on the event’s progress, but it’s usually between 190–200 billion).

Once the community progress bar fills up and the Cape Buffalo tier unlocks, you’ll officially be able to move on to the next step. So, keep grinding—your teamwork fuels the unlock!

Step 2: Acquire the Cape Buffalo Pet

When the milestone is achieved, it’s time to head straight to the Safari Shop, managed by the NPC Safari Joyce. That’s where you’ll find your brand-new Cape Buffalo waiting.

  • Location: Safari Shop (inside the event area)
  • Cost: Usually purchased using sheckles, the game’s main currency. Occasionally, the Cape Buffalo may also appear in Safari Eggs if they’re part of the current shop rotation.

Pro Strategy: While waiting for the milestone to unlock, save up plenty of sheckles. This ensures you can grab the pet right away once it’s available—before prices or stock shift.

Cape Buffalo’s Key Ability: Profit Duplication

What makes the Cape Buffalo so valuable isn’t just its looks—it’s its money-making magic. This pet’s passive trait gives players a steady boost in harvest profits without any extra work.

  • Duplication Chance: Each time you harvest fruits, there’s roughly a 10.16% chance that they’ll duplicate, giving you extra yield without extra effort.
  • Safari Plant Bonus: During the Safari event, this effect becomes even stronger, offering about a 5.11% higher duplication rate specifically for Safari-type plants.

By simply placing the Cape Buffalo in your garden plot, you’ll enjoy a constant stream of duplicated harvests—essentially free fruit and extra sheckles. It’s one of the best ways to multiply your short-term income without planting more.

Prioritize Your Safari Pets

While the Cape Buffalo is a fantastic Rare-tier pet for boosting short-term profits, don’t overlook the Lion (Divine tier). The Lion stands out as the top-tier Safari pet, granting permanent access to the Safari Mutation even after the event ends.
