The multitudinous fauna
and flora populations and their habitats are not only to be
protected, but also nurtured and improved with the release
of indigenous animals and the education of the local population
and guests to the area regarding the status of the fragile
environment and animals facing extinction.
The Ministry of Environment and Tourism supports and promotes
the principles and aims of the conservancy and regulates the
population after carefully evaluating the availability of
fodder and the general number of animals. The quota of animals
made available for hunting are based on these figures.
50 % of the KHC members are white Afrikaans speaking farmers,
whilst the remainder consists of German speaking farmers.
Currently no coloured farmers have shown interest in membership.
A number of black hunting guides are however active in the
KHC.
What advantages does this conservancy hold for the guest hunter? Within the
KHC (s)he can choose from nine lodges, guest- and huntingfarms with varying levels
of luxury. Each hunting guide is allowed to guide freely throughout the KHC after
consulting with the other members. Additionally, larger groups can be accommodated
on the KHC and hunt on the surrounding farms. Very strict controls are, however,
enforced on trophy hunting and the age categories of animals hunted to ensure
that the social structure of herds are maintained.
