Communication needs to be improved in the park, including telephone, data network, free and metered Wi-Fi and cellular access

As much as new technology and improvement thereof are vital
in this modern day and age of man's existence on this planet, it
still remains a no-no in the KNP!!

My philosophy quite simple,.

All this technology lending toward consumer support and the
commercialization strategies as set aside by Sanparks!!

By way of example and in a simple form the Selati Bridge
a prime example, though many regard this bridge as important
in nostalgic sense!!

I'm afraid but a line needs to be drawn somewhere!!!!!!!!

Limited to the camps or even only a space ( with sufficient table(s) and chairs) at reception would be fine with me

[Dindingwe]

I agree with Lisbeth : wi-fi limited to the camps can be useful, provided it really works (for example, I have never been able to get a connection at Catle Baron restaurant at Skukuza, although it is supposed to have internet).
Internet is not needed elsewhere in the parks, and should not be available, especially to avoid the sighting applications and the crowds they cause.

I don't mind, as long as it doesn't cost too much and stays in the big camps?

Not wilderness!

[nan]

I think in big camps will be enough... we can move a bit... to be conncected

how they did before

[Mel]

I think, I'll have to go to the Arctic or the Antarctic in future to escape any kind of Wifi...
But that's probably just me... A holiday is best without having access to the real world -
and that includes the availability of internet in SA parks

[Lisbeth]

Nobody forces you to use it

[Mel]

I don't use it There would have been plenty of opportunities by now.
Still, I personally don't like even the possibility

To be honest: I do appreciate live reports from parks but I cannot understand
how one can "ruin" the holidays by being online every night

Yet. that's my very personal opinion and everyone should do what he or she
feels like
