Die togte was onderneem om olifante te skiet aangesien daar 'n groot vraag na ivoor in Batavia was en die Kaapse regering ook materiele belange in olifantjag gehad het. Hierdie landstogte word beskou as die eerste uitwaartse beweging van die koloniste wat mettertyd met hulle vee 'n leefwyse gemaak het om al hoe verder Oos te trek."
