The Safari Business

In South Africa, the safari business generates revenues of 600 million annually. Yet tourist-cum-photographers are not just hosted in the national parks, there also exist thousands of private game reserves. The owners of these huge ranches own not just the land but also the animals. A CAPA team went behind the scenes to explore these privately run reserves, to witness, amongst other things, game hunting by helicopter and the auctioning of wild animals.
