The entrance fee helps ensure this rare conservation area can be preserved in its current form. Some of the current core projects which receive a proportion of this fee include:

• A substantial investment by the Sabi Sand Wildtuin into improving its security operations in the immediate term to combat the unprecedented (and rising) level of rhino poaching. Security in general will also be enhanced on the reserve

• The improvement and maintenance of the reserve’s perimeter fence to minimise potential for human-wildlife conflict
