ABSTRACT
The development of wildlife-based land uses on freehold farmland in southern Africa is generally well documented. Legislative changes, which bestowed custodial user rights over wildlife to private landholders in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia, and their impacts – which appear to have resulted in investment in wildlife-based land use and increases in wildlife stocks have been described extensively (Joubert, 1974; Luxmoore, 1985; Child, 1988; Cumming, 1990; Jansen et al. 1992; Bond, 1993).
