Another whole can of worms has been opened up with the breaking news of a camp within a camp at Pretoriouskop. How is it that this company is able to secure semi- permanent sites on the perimeter fence and advertise now for 2018 if the same rules are applicable to them? Surely if the 11 month rule is applicable there is no ways that they could be taking bookings for their glamping options for October 2018 NOW??????

Does anyone know why Sanparks have included all the gates in their availability accommodation offering when there's no accommodation for hire at the gates

(Or should I say "accommodation for hire at the gates
yet"

)

Could be to book day visitor passes?

Do you have an example link BC? I can't seem to see gate accommodation anywhere
But like Robert says, maybe they're hacking their own system to allow online booking of day visitor quotas?

Just chose any date to book in the availability section and the gates pop up as "accommodation fully booked" If there's no accommodation there, then I don't understand why they are there in the accommodation availability section

In my opinion certainly there is corruption in the booking system
A case in point -last year , 1st September 2016 , we called , by telephone ,at 8.00 am , SANParks central booking , to make reservations for KTP , for August 2017 .
Basically , even with bookings for that period only opening a few minutes earlier , the whole park was basically fully booked , and we were indeed lucky to get a few days there
