The game farming industry in South Africa has grown exponentially over the past 20 years from 3,500 farms in 1991 to over 10,000 game farms today. It's an The industry now worth around one and a half billion dollars a year – more than half of which comes from trophy hunting.

South Africa has more than 10,000 wildlife farms covering more than 20 million hectares. Conventional farmers have been integrating game ranching into their operations or switching over to game ranching completely since 1991. This is more sustainable because game ranching is much more adaptable to severe weather conditions. The profitability and adaptability to drought conditions is certainly a good enough reason for producers to consider incorporating game farming into their plans.
