Then today when I wanted to leave the park with firewood I had bought at a rest camp, they refused to let me take it out, unless I presented a valid slip... An understandable precaution, but still...
But still what? It's a rule.
I was there a week ago and there were a heck of a lot of people.
KNP, like many other SANParks, has challenges. The administration are actually doing a heck of a lot to right the wrongs (if I can put it that way) that have occurred there.
As for poaching, it is happening all over. Other countries with rhino population are experiencing the same. I have what many believe to be some pretty radical opinions on the matter. Another story.
As for the cost of the KNP, hop on the website of some parks in neighboring states and check what you see. You are going to pay more in the shops and things because it takes quite some effort to get the stuff there. Also, think about what you pay for a loaf of bread or a litre of milk at a convenience store or a service station store.
To my mind it's a value for money destination. Not as I rememeber things from when I was young but the world aint gonna stop for me hey.
