Conservation isn't just about protecting wildlife—it's about actively managing it for future.

At Kransplaas, wildlife management is a year-round commitment, and one of the most important tools we use is game capture and relocation.

A few months ago, we relocated several sable cows and bulls. One particular bull, however, had other plans! He managed to outsmart us time and time again, avoiding every capture attempt. After plenty of patience and teamwork, we finally managed to dart him safely.

When we measured him, he taped an impressive 49.5 inches—and the best part is that he's still growing. We're looking forward to seeing what he measures next year. Even more importantly, this magnificent bull has now been introduced to a small breeding herd after previously living as a bachelor, giving him the opportunity to contribute valuable genetics to the future of the species.

Our work didn't stop there.

With our nyala population growing rapidly, it was time to ensure the herd remained healthy and balanced. We successfully captured and relocated 16 nyala to a new property, where they will continue to thrive and establish a strong population.

Every capture, every relocation, and every management decision is made with one goal in mind: healthy wildlife, sustainable populations, and responsible conservation.

This is what wildlife management looks like at Kransplaas—protecting today, preserving tomorrow. 🌍💚

Not your average day on the farm… 🐾

We recently took on the challenge of capturing and relocating some of our sable antelope—and what an experience it was. From early planning to the final release, it pushed us in every way: long hours, intense moments, and yes… a LOT of heavy lifting.

With the incredible support of Legacy Wildlife Services and their dedicated vet students, we managed to safely move these magnificent animals to their new area. There were a few heart-racing moments along the way, but seeing them finally settle, calm and content, made every second worth it.

It’s not just about moving animals—it’s about conservation, teamwork, and ensuring these incredible creatures thrive in the best possible environment.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this operation a success.
