Rietgat Safaris was born from a dream—a vision to create a haven where nature lovers and hunters alike could experience the beauty of the bushveld in its purest form.
In the winter of 2011, a couple from the Orange Free State turned that dream into reality, transforming Rietgat into a sanctuary of adventure and connection with the wild.
At Rietgat Safaris, we pride ourselves on delivering unforgettable hunting and leisure experiences in the Free State near Bloemhof, South Africa. Nestled in a vast expanse of sand veld with Kalahari-like vegetation and veld landscapes, our exclusive hunting grounds offer the best of both worlds. Whether you're here for the thrill of the hunt or the serenity of nature, Rietgat Safaris ensures an authentic South African adventure.
