To put wildlife on a reserve will be expensive i would rather advice you to buy a wildlife reserve which has already been established this way the wildlife is already on the premise and you only have to buy now and again some extra wildlife to prevent inbreedingHow much would it cost to introduce wildlife into a game reserve in South Africa?
I don't know how much it will cost you but its going to be a lot but let me give you a point wait until the Rand/Dollar exchange is good then buy.





Good luck man





What will be your reserves name so l can take my family there one day. ^_^
Wow - cool idea. I would say it would cost a lot. First off you need the reserve itself. that's land and land is always expensive no matter what country you are talking about. If you are keeping ants then the amount of land is very, very small. If you are keeping bigger normal African animals they need many square mile in which to roam free.





Once you have the reserve then you need to put up some administration and visitor building and sleeping accommodation for visitors. the visitors pay to see the reserve so again you need some form of living space for the human animals otherwise they will end up as food for the four legged animals.





Once you have all that in hand you will no doubt need the proper government authorizations and I would expect that these are not free - and most like the taxes will be yearly.





You will need a vet or two and workers to keep out the poachers so their salaries will also be a yearly thing.





I would think the above would cost many hundred's of thousands of dollars, and more realistically a few million's of dollars if the land is a vast tract.





You can see a list of reserves:

I expect you could get lots of information about these places and their running costs and the like.





Hope this helps.
did you say that you are introducing?


Wild life reserve is not a new venture in Africa.if you are coming up with something else then you question is ok but if it is wild life,come join the train.





Very expensive.usually,it is a government partnership business.I don't know how you will get into it as a foreigner.
