Reindeer Herds

TIME : 2016/2/19 0:04:15

A few reindeer herds of 1000 to 2000 heads, managed by nomadic Evens, can be tracked down around Esso and Anavgay. They are reachable by helicopter in the warm months, and possibly by snowmobile during winter. An hour in a helicopter costs R130,000 in these parts. Every late November there’s a zaboy (slaughter) about 15km from Esso that’s easier to reach.
