I don't know if it's illegal? Suppose it is in line with empowering the community, as per SP's policies?

What would have happened if the visitors had accepted? I suppose that we can only guess, because we would not have known about it in the first place

Ladies more than game at Orpen Gate
Visitors to the Kruger National Park was offered some female entertainment at Orpen Gate by Park Officials.
14 November 2014 10:59
SKUKUZA – The Orpen Gate in the Kruger National Park (KNP) seems to be taking “entertainment” a few steps further, when they offered “beautiful black ladies” to two local tourists recently.
“Alf” wrote on the SANParks.org forum that he and a friend entered Orpen Gate at about 12:30 on October 30 this year.
Two KNP staff members apparently came over to their car at the first boom gate at Orpen, and enquired whether the two friends were just day visitors or if they were staying overnight.
When they confirmed they were overnight visitors, one of the officials suddenly approached them. “He asked us if we were interested in ‘beautiful black ladies’, and signalled to three black women sitting next to a small building at the gate.”
“Alf” said they were totally shocked and declined politely. They official just laughed and proceeded to the boom to open it.
Although saying that he had reported the incident, “Alf” had to date not received any response on his report. Lowvelder approached the spokesman for KNP,
Mr William Mabasa, who confirmed he has seen the remarks on the same forum, but had not received any complaint in this regard. Mabasa, although confirming that his office did not try to contact “Alf” for more information, said they would investigate the incident. “In the history of the park, we have never heard of such a thing and we would be happy if the guests in question would be willing to assist in our investigation so we can address this unbecoming behaviour at our Orpen Gate.”
He asked that the two visitors avail themselves to identify the said officials. “Alf” has not responded to this request, but added he would be ashamed if overseas visitors experienced the same upon entering the park and hoped that SANParks would put a swift stop to this practice.

Re: Ladies For Hire at Orpen Gate?
You raise a good question, Sprocks...I doubt they hop into the car straight away, though!
But obviously this offer has been taken up in the past?

Re: Ladies For Hire at Orpen Gate?
I'm not a detective, but maybe a clue is to check who was on duty at 12h30 on Oct 30?
