Sustainable Wildlife Management at Garib Farm – Responsibility for Nature and the Future

At Garib Farm, on the edge of the Kalahari, sustainable wildlife management is a central part of our philosophy. We firmly believe that hunting is only truly justified when it is carried out in harmony with nature conservation and the preservation of healthy wildlife populations.

Through carefully planned management measures, we help maintain stable and balanced wildlife populations. We selectively harvest only carefully chosen animals, always taking into account their age, sex, and overall condition. This approach helps preserve species diversity while maintaining the ecological balance of the savanna ecosystem.

Our responsibility, however, extends far beyond hunting. We are actively committed to habitat conservation, encourage the natural movement of wildlife, and support programs that promote the sustainable use of natural resources. For us, sustainable wildlife management means treating nature with respect—today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.
