COVID Impact on Tourism in South Africa

[harrys]

But cinemas, casino's and restaurants can open but not normal accomodation really stupid people making the regulations in this stupid country this is really f#@&%d up

I agree harrys! I would think staying in a hotel is safer than going to a restaurant!

Staying in a game reserve is the safest option of all...you don't have to come into contact with anyone if you are well-organised.

Now try and explain that to those clowns the more I think of it the more I believe they are just spiteful

IMO they are just confused and do not know which way to choose.

If you camp at camps like Skukuza you will come into contact with Thousands of people ..at for example the Ablution Blocks ..unless you dont go to the loo in your 2 week stay or have a shower in that time and wear the same clothes

Then don't go to busy camps like Skukuza If they really want people to come back safe just put an effort in and keep ablutions clean and even only allow half the campers back with open areas between caravans and tents . If everyone do their part we can go camping and visit places like KNP without any problems. Just yesterday I read an article where it states that it's safer outside than inside and that going to the wild is safer than staying at home so I just hope all these resorts will open soon

I'm sure they are planning things out!

As Harry says, it's a question of organization..... and CONTROL, which is not one of the strong characteristics of Sanparks

People here are not the best when it comes to obeying rules and regulations - are campers any better? (thinking of perimeter sites at Shing)

Opening up accommodation might be better. Introduce a minimum stay of 5 days and leave units unoccupied for a couple of days between guests. No servicing and something will be needed to protect cleaning staff - leaving the windows open helps but not in Kruger

leave units unoccupied for a couple of days between guests.

Lis has posted the best prevention summary so far here:
