Kings Pride Buffalo is the most shade tolerant Buffalo however other shade tolerant buffalo grass are also available. 

In colder areas, Buffalo is more shade tolerant than Couch. In warmer climates, both buffalo and couch can be planted in full sun.

Kings Pride Buffalo is a medium-textured, strong growing turf species with an upright growth habit. It is best suited to the cooler coastal regions of Australia where it has performed very well in some shaded and some full sun situations.

Kings Pride can be established from sod, sprigs, or plugs and is the only Buffalo available as a pure sward (no dead leaf matter) which has been specially produced to ensure its dense fine leaf blade structure develops quickly after planting.

Village Green or most couch varieties are the best for drought tolerance. Village Green is the only couch suitable for full sun areas. It can be established in light shade or part shade if planted in a hot summer area. Village green tolerates low levels of nitrogen fertilizer, unlike other couch varieties.
