Good morning all, on the 25th March 2019 Gamespotter wrote - The fact that companies already seem to have a right to sell accomodation for this Pop-up camp implies they already are in busines without an EIA and without tender regulations adhered to? This turn of events seems very arbitrary. How is it possible that companies are advertising this project on Facebook (implying the EAI and tender process has been complied with) when this is clearly not this case?
And he did a very careful evaluation of the comments by SANPARKS. It is blatantly obvious that they have a preferential bidder lined up for the newly released PPP Opportunity Mobile Tented Camps and this statement I will stand by.
Not only was permission given to the camp operators without any public notice and they were allowed to start marketing the Kruger Grande product way back in March, now they are also treated as any other concession in the Kruger by SANPARKS and their product is marketed by SANPARKS themselves on the official SANPARKS website -

Surely this gives this operator an unfair advantage? I have asked this before and will again, is there anyone here with some influence, contacts that can ask a few operational questions i.e. where is the exact location of this camp, what new facilities were created to accommodate this test camp, were any new roads constructed, who provides the game drive service and who acts as the safety officers / armed guards at the camp.
Any one out there with insight?
