With herds of cattle they would all need protection from clouds of flies.
As part of the tourist industry your solution is over-simplistic and counterproductive.

Cattle preferentially eat highly palatable native grasses ahead of buffel grass so the latter gets a competitive advantage on grazing land.
Alternatively, flog the land to the bare bones with overstocking of cattle and return to the days of massive dust storms.
Your solution is not simple, it’s simplistic.
