Wildlife Bomas & Breeding Camps
Purpose-built wildlife holding and breeding enclosures designed around the animals, environment and management requirements of each project.
Designed Around the Species & Purpose
TNH Fencing designs and constructs specialised holding bomas and breeding camps for a wide range of wildlife management applications.
The design of a boma or breeding enclosure depends on the animals being housed, the purpose of the enclosure, the duration of use and the management requirements of the property.
Different wildlife species require different containment systems. Rhino and buffalo, for example, can be housed in strong bomas constructed using wooden poles, while appropriately designed electric fencing can be used for predator containment.
TNH combines wildlife management knowledge with practical fencing experience to develop enclosures suited to each individual situation.
Built for the Application
A wildlife enclosure needs to support both safe containment and practical animal management.
Wildlife Enclosures for Different Management Needs
TNH develops bomas and breeding camps around the species, project purpose and practical management requirements.
Holding Bomas
Specialist holding enclosures can be designed for temporary or operational wildlife management requirements.
Breeding Camps
Purpose-built camps can support intensive and semi-intensive breeding operations for suitable wildlife species.
Predator Enclosures
Electric fencing can form part of specialised containment systems for predators including lions, cheetahs, wild dogs and other species.
Large Game
Strong boma construction can be used for large game species such as rhino and buffalo where robust containment is required.
Conservation Projects
Wildlife bomas can support relocation, reintroduction and other conservation-management programmes.
Custom Enclosures
Where standard solutions are not appropriate, TNH can design the enclosure around the specific requirements of the property and animals.
Boma Design Requires More Than Fencing Knowledge
The enclosure needs to work for both the animals and the people responsible for managing them.
TNH's experience in wildlife management allows the team to consider animal behaviour, containment, access and practical management when developing a boma or breeding enclosure.
Species-Specific
The design is influenced by the behaviour, size and containment requirements of the wildlife involved.
Purpose-Built
Holding, breeding and specialist management enclosures each present different design requirements.
Practical Access
Gates, movement and access requirements can be considered as part of the overall enclosure design.
Appropriate Materials
Materials and fencing systems are selected to suit the wildlife and practical demands of the enclosure.
Supporting Major Wildlife Management Projects
TNH has practical experience constructing wildlife bomas as part of major conservation and game-management projects.
TNH constructed bomas in Madikwe Game Reserve to facilitate the introduction of elephants, lions and wild dogs during Operation Phoenix, the reserve's large-scale wildlife relocation programme.
This experience forms part of TNH's broader work supplying specialist wildlife fencing, training, advice and animal management systems across Africa.
Wildlife management infrastructure needs to be practical, durable and appropriate for the animals it is designed to contain.
TNH's experience includes constructing bomas used during wildlife introductions at Madikwe Game Reserve.
Important Considerations for Bomas & Breeding Camps
Each project is different, which is why TNH assesses the practical requirements before recommending a solution.
Species
The animals being housed are central to the design and construction of the enclosure.
Size & Layout
The available area and intended management purpose influence the overall enclosure layout.
Electrification
Electric fencing can be incorporated where appropriate for the species and application.
Access
Gates and practical access requirements form an important part of an effective enclosure.
From Requirement to Construction
TNH works through the practical requirements of the project before recommending and constructing the enclosure.
Understand
We establish the species, purpose, location and general requirements of the enclosure.
Assess
The site, size, layout, access and containment requirements are considered.
Design
TNH recommends an enclosure configuration and materials suited to the specific project.
Construct
Once agreed, the boma or breeding camp is professionally constructed for the intended application.
