Hunting
Our leading Professional Hunter and Hunting Outfitter, Jan Westdyk, will guide you on your quest for your African trophies. Registered as a PH throughout South Africa and Namibia, Jan knows the land well. With patience, skill and intimate knowledge of your sought after trophy, you will be lead to success. Hunting is mostly done by walking and stalking. Vehicles and horses may be used to assist in the hunt when necessary.
Eco Tourism
If hunting is not your calling, be escorted on a game viewing hike, drive or horseback ride. With over 25 species of game and numerous species of birds, Ratelfontein will satisfy the most avid game-viewer, bird-watcher and photographer. Clay pigeon shooting on our challenging six-station sporting course will test your shotgun abilities.
See more of our magnificent landscape and the interesting fauna and flora that live off it from the comfort and raised position of one of our game-viewing vehicles.
And keep a look out for the American Bison that were donated to the farm — Ratelfontein is one of a few places outside of America, where you will see these majestic animals in the wild! Don’t forget to bring your binoculars, camera and extra film.
