During 2020 the entire reserve shut down. I took a chance and started negotiating with the board and eventually the owner.
After months of discussions between myself, the owner and Gideon (Ecologist) the decision was made to move to hunting (strict quota) as the “footprint” is much lower with an equal if not greater return.
Or, less people… spending more.

I've never heard this argument before, despite it being so logical. I thought you were going to mention the fact that since Covid, the tourists are still not back to their previous numbers, while I have the impression that hunters seem to be a more adventurous lot.

Congratulations on this success, I'm sure there must be a few employees in that photographic area that will be less than thrilled. Perhaps this will provide a worthwhile education on sustainable game management.

I saw a similar argument on another thread. Seems to me the "carbon footprint" of one hunter is tiny in comparison to hundreds if not thousands of people driving a photo tourism reserve,and cash generation from 1 hunter equals about 100 or more tree huggers.

It’s is truth rather than speculation. As a whole Photographic clients also demand much more than hunters and their associated observers.
Glad we all agree.

Hi Jaco! Will they continue hosting photographers or have they changed their focus entirely? By the way, their decision gives me hope that there are still rational actors out their. Made my day!

My best.
