Killer Holidays in South Africa: Where Royals Go To Hunt | Safari Tourism Documentary

For 15,000 euros, you can shoot a lion. A rhinoceros is 80,000 euros. Sometimes you can even choose the size and colour of the animal. In South Africa, where 80% of wildlife lives on private land, the animals belong to farmers who raise them especially for hunting. And for those who don’t want to have to travel to Africa to kill a zebra, now the animals are being shipped to Texas so that they can be shot there.

When King Juan Carlos paid an estimated $60,000 to kill an elephant in Botswana, it caused a major political scandal. The shooting of Cecil of the Lion provoked headlines all over the world. But despite the global outrage, hundreds of Westerners come to South Africa every year to kill wild animals. In this film, we investigate the safari tourism industry.

This documentary was first released in 2015.
