I think you can add soma

First of all I would like to say thank you for everyone that voted for Camp of the Year

We went through all the votes and are proud to announce the winners.............



1st Place - Mopani

2nd Place - Punda Maria

3rd Place Tamboti Tented Camp

Well done

Hmmm... just returned from KNP and it seems this vote was done while I was away


My two bits ---


Mopany -- sorry it lacks the athmospere of peace and quiet and restfulness

Punda would certainly have lost my vote , mainly due to a troop of around 40 to 50 monkeys that invade the camp daily , and it seems that management do not care about it at all . Accommodation is crampy as always

Tambotie is tops and deserves a place

Shingwedzi is still the best for me , athmospere , accommodation ( pity about current work being done on water reticulation ) , staff competence , and the three best drives in the park -- Kanniedood , Red Rocks , and Mphongolo Loop -- plus all the great ellies around there

HI okie, this survey has actually been running for months now.

I have to agree with you...Mopani would never get my vote.

As we camp at Tsendze, can't comment on the accommodation at Mopani, but have in recent years found the staff reception/restaurant pleasant and efficient.

Sadly, at the moment every camp/picnic site has massive problems with monkeys/baboons/honey badgers/AWC's as people feed them, despite the signs. We had the bush babies at Punda, climbing in and out of everything looking for food.
Sad to say at Satara, people were feeding the hyena's, and the grey lorries, and then getting upset with the monkeys going for the children, as I told one person "You cannot fix stupid" .

Thanks, Alf!

Spotted Genet is doing a lovely trophy...and Alf is sorting certificates for 2 and 3 in Gauteng!

Now we need members to deliver to the camps...the trophy needs to be fetched in Nellies for example!

Greenies, lets make plans!

Unfortunately there is not much that we can do to educate the silly/stupid visitors.........even worse if the employes do not try to "Educate" the visitors as they should
