Locally based in Hoedspruit, Limpopo, we know the challenges first-hand. Thousands of South African wildlife reserves face overstocking or have no giraffes due to high costs. We fund safe, science-based relocations — only after a qualified ecologist confirms the new reserve has sufficient food through a carrying capacity report.

When we needed to translocate surplus animals, the market was limited — many reserves could not afford the costs. We know countless other reserves face the same challenge.
South Africa has thousands of private and state wildlife reserves. Some are overstocked with giraffes, while many others currently have none because relocation has been too expensive. South African law requires reserves to remain within their assessed carrying capacity to prevent overgrazing and environmental destruction. We change this reality responsibly.
"We purchase at-risk giraffes from overstocked reserves and relocate them only to suitable properties — but only after a qualified ecologist completes an ecological carrying capacity report."

Giraffes relocated only after ecological carrying capacity confirmation by qualified ecologists.
Genetic diversity improved through carefully managed swaps between reserves.
Habitats protected and full legal compliance ensured through rigorous science.
