Knowing how things work in SA, I would feel safer knowing that in case I can get in contact with the rest of the world and if staying for a long time, to know what is happening. Not for fun! I have tried what it means to be completely at the mercy of people who do not care if you are dead or alive and I can assure you, that it is not a nice feeling O-/

Proper connections. I want wildlife + proper connections, inside and outside the camps.

I have no issues with it. I have to work when in park and battle with cell signal ( I would rather be in park working than in office, so it helps make my holiday instead of detracting from it) I carry an MTN and Vodacom sim to check who has better signal in different camps, some camps I can’t go to as signal is so bad. Think we have to be aware that some people can work remotely provided they have signal. As for the apps, that is a persons behaviour, stopping the apps is not going to stop their behaviour.

It will not stop bad behaviour, but maybe avoid having everybody at the same sighting.

People all being at same sighting is because some people park off for hours at a sighting without giving others an opportunity, that boils down to people’s selfish behaviour again,not app. People are in different places and different distances and different times when the notice comes through so you can’t all be at sighting at same time unless people don’t move on.

You will have the same problems if you take apps away, the people who hog a sighting will still be hogging sightings and the more people being allowed in is going to compound it. If more sightings are reported their is more chance of spreading the hoggers over more sightings in my opinion.
