The Wildlife Rancher of the Year Award honours South Africa’s most dedicated and visionary wildlife ranchers. It recognises individuals and teams who show exceptional leadership in conservation, sustainable resource management, and ethical wildlife practices.

Each year, WRSA (Wildlife Ranching South Africa) celebrates those who protect biodiversity, promote innovation in wildlife management, and strengthen rural communities. These ranchers are true stewards of the land, combining business insight with a deep respect for nature and the environment.
