Richard Holmes Safaris
Games in Cradock

South African hunting safaris for novice or experienced hunters with Richard Holmes Safaris including special hunting packages.

These ranches belong to Richard Holmes and his wife Marion, who reside on Clifton ranch. Richard is a hunting outfitter, the fourth generation in the area, while Marion has many years experience in the travel & catering industry. Richard Holmes' background and vast experience in the field of hunting are what have made him a byword among hunters for the success and enjoyment of their South African hunting safaris. We are conservation orientated with vast numbers of established herds of wild game in their natural habitat on large areas of land. This was achieved in over 40 years of reintroducing by buying in many years back most of the game species which had all but disappeared. We are thus very proud and happy to have achieved this and if it was not for true, fair chase hunters who continually join us for their safaris, we could not have achieved this and in future could not afford to keep all the wild game species on our own land and on the land of our concession areas either. Richard Holmes Safaris hunts its 2 own private ranches and many other private properties called concessions but only in the immedaite area of our ranch, all comprising natural, wild and variegated South African veld. There is also a friendly and capable staff who between them will assist you with your hunting safari and look after your needs when at base. Our South African hunting safaris are ideal for both novice and experienced hunters. The abundance of game and the fairly open terrain make for easy hunting but shooting is sometimes long range therefore difficult, but we will not force you to shoot if you are not comfortable with the range. The result is that all your trophies are home quickly and in one piece with no customs hassles. The rooms have the following amenities: en-suite bathrooms with good pressure hot showers, flush toilets, toilet paper, hot and cold clean running water, beds with warm blankets, bedding, towels, soap, electricity 220 Volt, electric heaters and full furnishings. Enjoy home cooked meals which are balanced and delicious with different types of vegetables, starch, various salads and deserts. Many meals are of the game hunted and these meats are absolutely wonderful !
