HUNTING & CONSERVATION

The South African hunting industry is coming under increasing fire and criticism, particularly big-game hunting. We welcome thousands of hunters to our country yearly who openly document their hunting safaris and contribute substantially to conservation. When images surface of prominent figures on a big game hunt (like Australian cricket players Glenn McGrath and Brett Lee), it creates an international uproar.
