Problem is, the result of this hunting is ranches where big game animals are grown just to be shot.
And 'hunting' big game with modern high-powered rifles and scopes is barely more than a level-1 vidgame. Seriously, you're virtually guaranteed to bag something, and the biggest risk is a sprained ankle with your guide as backup.
The best solution is to sell expensive packages to hunt the most dangerous game of all -humans- specifically, poachers.
Your big fee gets you deputized, mostly goes to protect the park, and you go on a real hunt of something that has a fighting chance, and you'll genuinely improve the animals' chance of survival if you succeed.
