OK, it is pretty effective overall but there are a TON of escapees.
-snakeproof? fuhgetaboutit!!
I have seen kudu jump the fence without a running start. Eland can easily do the same.
Warthog/bushpig go under with less trouble than I have getting through turnstyles. Baboons go over too.
It is always assumed that the fence is in perfect condition, often there are holes which aren't found for weeks before being fixed.
I was told that a wildebeest had burst right through the fence recently, then had turned to go home and made a new hole!!!
I know that elephant/rhino will easily do the same unless the fence is electrified.
So on the whole, it is quite disuasive, but don't call it "gameproof" cause it ain't.
Haven't any of you seen those farms that try and keep animals away from the fence with old licence plates? That is for a reason!
