Wildlife Tourism Rebounds As Visitors Return To South Africa

SABI SANDS, SOUTH AFRICA - OCTOBER 9: (COMPILATION) Red-billed ox-pecker birds are perched on the back and face of a white rhinoceros, recently dehorned by game rangers to protect it from poachers, in view of tourists (unseen) on an evening game drive in the Sabi Sands nature reserve on October 9, 2022 in Mpumalanga, South Africa. The country's affected tourism sector is expecting a busy summer season, the first in two years without pandemic-induced restrictions. Safari lodges say they are operating at capacity with an influx of international tourists and airlines adding more flights from Europe and the USA. (Footage by David Silverman/Getty Images)
