Free State

Free State Province, South Africa

The concession is situated west of the town of Bethlehem and close to the small town of Paul-Roux (±42km). The hunting area consists of 2 adjoining concession areas and covering more than 3000 HA (7400 acres). Bow hunting blinds are now being built, so the opportunities for springbuck hunting etc. with a bow, will be good.

Clients are accommodated in a refurbished sand-stone ranch house, which consists of 4 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, a second bathroom and separate toilet, spacious dining area, sitting rooms and bar area. The veranda to the side and at the front of the ranch house overlooks the Witteberg Mountain Range.
