It might even be kinda fair to pay the 5% extra for getting the quicker service because let's face it:
Online bookings are slow in the best case and unbearable in the worst, so paying the full price is
something I can tolerate as long as I get what I want (or close to it). But yes, very convenient to
save that money because everyone makes a beeline for the phones and the emails...

What I really loathe is that I'm unable to see what is available while I'm on the phone.
And here I agree with everyone - there is a definite agenda behind this, namely hiding the fact
that certain units go out long before bookings open and they go out although - against SP official
statement - not the whole camp is rented out to a single party who books for several people.

SanParks is really pushing it... Not only does accommodation get ridiculously expensive, but
the hassle with the bookings really makes one wonder if it's still worth wile :evil:

Is there any limit to the number of units you can book as an individual?

Well, all I can tell you is that SanParks official statement to the question why wilderness camps were not available anymore
before the booking had ever opened was that they allow booking of the whole camp beforehand. But most wilderness camps
in KTP consist of only 4 units.

Then again, you must be a millionaire to book all of Skukz for example. :twisted:

Hmm... If you do a phone booking you don't have to pay immediately. So how about we block book entire camps over peak periods... Share out the reservation to wildies as they need ..0..

Or is that corrupt 0' =O:
