Anybody ever hunted with Richard Holmes Safaris? He is near Cradock, South Africa. Looks like he has been around for a while, but I am having trouble finding more than 1 or 2 reviews, and none recent. Thanks in advance.

I would get in touch with H&Hhunter and/or eastbank if you’re looking for an African hunt. If I’m not mistaken they have each been on more than one occasion and seem to be very knowledgeable in this area.
 
I'm back from Africa!
I ended up booking a hunt with Richard Holmes Safaris. I had a great time. The staff was friendly and professional. They did not rip me off in any way. They were very helpful in navigating a confusing foreign country. The food was great. The accommodations were as described. I would recommend. I would book with him again.

Congratulations on completing the trip. It's good to hear everything went well as there's quite a bit of variation between different PH:s and outfitters. The worst one we've had so far locked himself in the cabin of a pickup truck, told us to get on the bed and had us do the spotting, when we had specifically requested all tracking to be done on foot as usual. The better ones have been great, though, and every now and then you get one whose most common phrase is "IT'S A BIG ONE! SHOOT!" when they really aren't.

I'd love to see pics too, if you care to share.
 
yes, pictures please. I too like to hunt on foot early in the morning and late afternoon. as I hunted with good friends(Africans) on privite farms on most of my trips and self catered it saved a lot of money. eastbank.
