Wat gaan met hulle aan? Ek probeer al die hele week om bespreking te maak - kom deur na “general public bookings” dan is daar net musiek en niemand antwoord nie. Lyk my hulle stort nou ook in duie.☹️ Wil nie aanlyn bespreek nie want dan kry ek nie my pensioenaris afslag nie (verstaan nie hoekom nie)

Ek het uiteindelik vanmiddag deurgekom

Gebruik voortaan 'n satelliet-kantoor soos EZI Bookings. Onverbeterlike diens.

Dankie Chris . Goeie idee

Al agtergekom Vrydae is nie die regte dag by Sanparks vir besigheid nie. Afgelope 2x het hulle al voor by hek vir my gesê ek kan nie ingaan nie, want hulle is off line. Seker vandag braaidag gevier?

Ek het weer die teenorgestelde ondervinding.

Die satelliet-kantoore bly tog die beste diens. Hulle vertel my hulle kry net n' komissie op nuwe bespreekings...nie veranderings nie. So, probeer hulle gebruik vir die eerste bespreeking.

Ons is nou weer tuis (Pretoria) tot einde October, dan gaan ons weer na ons meer permanente tuiste...die Wildtuin (Kruger). Klaar bespreek vir die heele November.

Ek sien nou...vir die eerste keer in jaare, dat Balule vol bespreek is in die begin van November. Ek wonder wat gaan aan? Balule wat sonder krag is is nie populeer in die somer nie.

My bespreekings is klaar gamaak en betaal.

The printer at Croc Bridge had been down since a week before we got there. The poor staff had to change bookings and arrangements as required by patrons on original documents using a pen! There was only one working hand-held card machine between the two admin clerks working at reception, effectively reducing it to a single pay point. The queue would back up the instant a concession vehicle arrived from outside with their foreign contingent. No Telkom or MTN signal at all for months prior and while we were there (CB, LS Skuk and Pretkop), a 3 week stay. Shocking! The SANpark head office are hanging their staff out to dry by not addressing their IT and network issues as they arise, as they are copping all the flak from irate customers. I still sympathised with the reception bloke and praised him for working under those conditions. Makes you wonder whether all the international entry and concession fees are being paid under these circumstances....  

Did my bookings at TMNP Tokai office 10kms up the road from me last year. Plain sailing. Chris is 100% correct.

Back from Kruger and home for Christmas. 

Back to Kruger in mid January and then in mid March to Zim and Moz.

What a pleasure to be retired.

Merry Christmas to all on the forum.

Amen to the retirement bit. 8 and a half months and haven't given the salt mines a moment's thought. What a pleasure!

We are planning to be there during the same time, 1 spot, the same as where we met, hopefully we cross paths again.

Richard, we are moving around. We will be in Berg En Dal begining March. We will look out for you and Rusty!

The last visit showed the game to be more to the middle and north of the park. It seems to vary for each visit. In February and August the game was most plentiful in the middle (Tsendze) and south. The grazing after Cyclone Freddie was extreemly lush around Mopani and Satara causing a huge congregation of plains game and of course predators. The park is also beautifully lush at the moment with all the rivers and streams flowing. It is a time of plenty for the animals.
