An emotive issue - Hunting and Trophy Hunting. As you drive through South Africa - particularly in Northern KZN, Mpumalanga, North West, Limpopo, and now the Eastern Cape as well - you pass kilometres of high electrified fencing.

These are what we call "Game Farms" - aimed at tourism and hunting. We explore the topic and the importance of this industry to South Africa.
