Original text on this topic:
As Botsalano is only 31 hours drive away from Pilanesberg, animals are transported individually in a crate on a low-bed trailer specially constructed for the difficult terrain at Pilanesberg. On average, the exercise starts at 06h00 and is over by 09h00 each morning. Costs are kept to an absolute minimum as economic viability is the secondary objective of the excercise - the first being the correct management of the species and its environment.
