Kenya & Tanzania are enchanting countries and few places in the world can better its varied touristic attractions. The overwhelming appeal of the wildlife sanctuaries, combined with, breathtaking scenery, rolling plains and grasslands, stretching far into the horizons as far as the eye can see is home to the black-manned lion, the savannah elephant, the Cape buffalo, wildebeests ,the elusive leopard, cheetah, the spotted & stripped hyena, the rhino, topi, burchelle's zebra, the Maasai giraffe among many others.

Yet even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game-viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands upon thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala and Grant's gazelle.

Email: [email protected] Highlights x 80% of private wildlife properties in South Africa conduct consumptive land uses x Intensive breeding covers 5% of the total land area of private wildlife properties x Profitability is highly variable between properties, with an average ROI of 0.068 x Wildlife properties employ more people per unit area than livestock farms x The private wildlife sector is a financially sustainable land use option on marginal land Abstract The private wildlife sector in South Africa must demonstrate value in the face of political pressures for economic growth, job creation and food security. Through structured survey questionnaires of landowners and managers from 276 private wildlife ranches, we describe patterns of wildlife-based land uses (WBLUs), estimate their financial and social contributions and compare these with livestock farming. We show that 46% of surveyed properties combined wildlife with livestock, 86% conducted two or more WBLUs and 80% conducted consumptive use activities.
