"This is an incredible opportunity for visitors from all over the globe
to experience an escorted horseback or horse-drawn wagon "safari" to get 'up
close and personal' with a vital part of American history. It strikes a raw
nerve with the guests who visit our Ranch where they can get very close to
one of these magnificent animals," said Turner.

He added that, "Not since the days depicted in 'Dances with Wolves' has
America seen hundreds of Bison living freely on the American plains. Only
here at the Grand Canyon Ranch can you have that type of adventure experience
of seeing these magnificent animals."

Noting that in the early 1800's some 30 million Bison roamed the American
plains, Turner (who holds a degree in Zoology), is eager to be a vocal
promoter and steward of these endangered animals. "There is a deep emotional
connection that Americans have seeing Buffalo not only preserved but growing
and thriving in a secluded and protected natural environment. The Buffalo is
part of us - they are enshrined in the hopes and dreams of the Wild West and
we simply cannot allow them to be lost forever."

Buffalo "Safaris"

Keen to bring tourists to his Arizona Ranch, the 165 sq mile Grand Canyon
Ranch offers Buffalo "Safaris" by horseback or horse-drawn wagon where
visitors can have the ultimate "Western Experience."

In one day, guests can visit the Grand Canyon by helicopter with Heli USA
Airways, land and experience the historic ranch, be entertained by
professional western entertainers and go on a buffalo "safari" either on
horseback or horse-drawn wagon.

"Growing up in Manchester, England I watched Western movies and
fantasized about the Wild West. My lifelong dream has now come true by owning
a magnificent ranch and the opportunity to introduce the Buffalo back into
the American wilderness. It is so gratifying to see the excited faces of
visitors when they see the Buffalo in their natural habitat rather than in a
zoo," said Turner.

John Power, VP Sales and Marketing for Grand Canyon Ranch added that more
information on the new buffalo "safaris" can be found at
www.grandcanyonranch.com, www.heliusa.com or through tour operators
worldwide, adding, "we have only been operating the new buffalo tours for a
few days and I am pleased that more than 80% of our visitors have been coming
to see the Buffalo. One Buffalo can grow to more than 2,000 lbs. They are
magnificent animals to see and photograph against the unmistakable beauty of
the Grand Canyon Ranch."
