This 'press release' seems to get longer every year
I'll be arriving just on the 14th. Good that I did not book before that
Being in the south is going to be rather different from the peace in the north, I'm afraid

It could also be that visitors that want to come in will simply do so once they see any vehicle come out, so maybe prudent?
(The vehicles that come out are not just tourists.)
That is more or less what happened during the "Batlle of Crocodile Bridge" on free entry day last year.

My logic is that if you have a 300 car quota you let in 300 cars then close the gate .Cars wanting to come in then queue and wait . After 4 hours 50 cars have left and handed in their gate passes you allow 50 new cars in .That is how it worked in previous years . This year during peak days they no longer allowed any vehicles in later on on some evenings leaving at 6.30PM the exit gate was relatively quiet as most cars had already left earlier .

Yes of course, Rog!
And it could be moneymaking, obviously.
I'm just adding another option for why they do it, possibly.

South Africa has another primacy, everybody who has a pinch of power seem to be experts in making simple issues complicated
