The independently-owned game reserves of today in South Africa have one clear aim and that is conservation. There is a desire amongst these land-owners to undo what has been done by their ancestors and restore the land and environment to how it used to be before it was over-hunted or turned into farm land.
They are the caretakers of their land and the animals which live on it.
Independent game reserves have re-introduced once endangered species such as the rhino and now spend their lives dedicated to their continued protection. The current crisis with rhino poaching has put increasing constraints on their resources due to the high level of security and the associated costs needed to combat the problem.
