It's no big secret the booking system gives privilege to "commercial operators". The evidence has been there for years now, despite SP refuting that. Once.

There is the normal high-up block-reservation at head office, if you have a licensed operator number, prior to public bookings, and then smaller adjustments regarding camps closer to the time, using any "means" at your disposal. (Regarding Kruger)

Maybe SP has forgotten that that has been spotted? -O-

From my experience you can not book anything with safarinow which is not available on SP online system, it's only better dealt with your reservation, quick, no mistakes, nothing overlooked etc :-0

I have to say that apart from not always getting the camps we want I've never had problems with bookings done through SANParks. I always phone Reservation House in Northcliff and they are all extremely helpful. \O
