Kruger National Park Visitor Numbers

[Lisbeth]

Day visitors have grown a lot. Overnight guests have decreased notably. Price raise? or some other reason

[RobertT]

Think it is pricing and maintenance, so value for money is no longer there.

[Lisbeth]

In my case definitely both. We stayed outside last time

With the current pricing, the income comes mainly from accommodation, but the bulk of visitors is day visitors. They should change the wild card system. From a conservation point of view it does not make sense that people who go very often, get it almost for free.

I enjoy the wildcard system, but I do think South Africa should take it a step further and do a seperate pricing for foreign tourists based on exhange rate, like other African countries. And only extend the wildcard to South African Citizens.
