Rawhide Safaris in South Africa, specialize in Wingshooting / Bird Hunting which comprises of doves, pigeons, upland birds and waterfowl. We offer Rifle and Bow hunting which covers plainsgame and dangerous game-hunts in South Africa and neighbouring African countries.

The origin of the name “Rawhide” lies in the large quantity of game that was found in the Free State province and harvested during the pioneering of the interior (1800's). The skins were cut into strips and dressed into rawhide lariats, thongs & strops. Our base camp is situated at Kroonstad – Free State Province, in the same region where these large herds were present. We are only a 2 hour drive from Johannesburg International Airport.

Rawhide Safaris provides hunting safaris for hunters from abroad in the whole of South Africa and other African countries. Apart from hunting, we also cater for wildlife tourist, photographic safaris, and adventure tours. Whether you would like to embark on a 5-day wingshooting safari or a 30-day plains-game and dangerous game safari, we will be able to accommodate you.
