The Primary focus of breeding of animals are based on the owners vision to create sustainable breeding groups of Prime Genetics in South Africa but also with the focus to move some breeding groups from his own population into Mozambique where many of the species have been exterminated. Dr Scholtz, in partnership with Dr Hein Muller is busy to establish, next to the Limpopo Trans Frontier park, the first viable and the first official game farm in Mozambique. They have already moved with the support of Veterinary Services, Nature Conservation and National Parks Board a variety of animals to the farm.
