Custom Tailored Safaris
Whether you are looking for personal or professional hunting experience in Africa, come join us at Fort Richmond Safaris.
Come hunt on the farm that has been in my family for more than a century.
Fort Richmond Safaris is unique because of our ability to custom tailor hunts, just as we did between 2017 and 2019 during the Scout Rifle Safaris with Richard Mann.
We’ve also put together unique hunting packages for Mossberg, Remington, Trijicon and Silencer Central.
We specialize in safari adventures at Fort Richmond and all across Africa for the blue collar American hunter; bring your wife, bring your kids, come to Africa and sit and eat at dinner around my family table with my family.
We also cater to the serious and dedicated trophy hunter, with hunting opportunities all over Africa, whether you are looking for exquisite five-star accommodations or a more rugged tent camp experience.

ABOUT FORT RICHMOND
Fort Richmond is situated in a malaria-free area just north of the Orange River (approximately 100km south of Kimberley) in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. Summers are usually hot and rainy while winters are cool and dry. The Wayland family has owned and managed the Fort Richmond property since 1869. The conservation of this unique ecosystem – which includes thornveld, sandveld, karoo, pans and panveld – has always been a priority to them.
From 1899 to 1902, English soldiers fighting in the Anglo-Boer War occupied the house. The family were sent to Grahamstown for the war’s duration, but Walther Wayland stayed behind to keep a watchful eye over their precious piece of Africa. In 1975 John Wayland adopted a holistic approach to managing the land. Range conditions improved to such an extent that the stocking levels of game were increased and indigenous species were reintroduced.
Today, visitors to Fort Richmond will be astounded by the diversity of terrain, plants, animals and birds that they encounter in the farm’s 11 unspoiled habitat types. John’s son — the wonderful, late, great African hunter: Neil Wayland — was as passionate about nature and all that it has to offer, as any of his predecessors. Now under the guidance of Neil’s son, master professional hunter and outfitter Geoffrey Wayland, he and his family are committed to maintaining the delicate balance between man and environment and to introducing hunters to Africa.
