Directed by Manuela Zips

Every year the ±Magic of the Leopard¬ draws hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world to South Africa. Wildlife tourism is booming like never before and accounting for the creation of boom towns around the Kruger National Park, such as Nelspruit and Hoedspruit. This film shows the potential connection between luxury tourism, the protection of the environment and wild animals, social justice and ±empowerment¬ as a ±model for an African Renaissance¬, without glossing over the problematic parts of ethno-marketing. In contrast to conventional animal documentaries, people and their view of the benefits of conservation are at the heart of this film
