Boela Bekker Safaris’ aim is to ensure that our clients enjoy a family orientated safari, offering experiences that can be shared by an entire hunting party. Whether an exciting stalk, accurate shooting, close encounter or simply reminiscing around a camp fire
Boela Bekker Safaris is situated in Richards Bay, KZN. We are an accredited and fully qualified outfitting company specialising in the hunting of plains and dangerous game, across South Africa. We have access to numerous concessions with a wide variety of species in different landscapes, from open plains and bushveld to coastal forests. We also offer deep sea charters for billfish and pelagics. Fresh water fishing for, amongst others, tiger fish, can also be arranged.
We are as passionate about our service as we are about wildlife and our community. We hope to awaken that same passion within our clients. We are fortunate to be South Africans and wish to share our heritage and beautiful land with people from all over the world.
We strive to meet you as our guests and send you off at the end of your Safari as family friends. Boela Bekker Safaris strives to ensure that all our clients receive individual attention and great hospitality whilst offering game viewing in their natural, unspoilt habitat.
