can be classed taboo,..Why then the parasites are not
subject to formal business practice like all else!!

I noticed the 10 sites at Malelane are only released till December 2017... Might be that they decided to skip the busy holiday period and set up camp in January 2018 to avoid commotion.. Just like they did in Pretoriuskop. Btw this post should actually be posted under the Malelane thread.

All sites still available in January 2018, while only 5 sites from Feb - May at Malelane. If they made the booking on 1 March they still have 5 days to pay the deposit. (120 days for travel trade). The deposit for Nov - Jan would have been ~ R285000. Quite a bit of money if you are currently not being able to recover your cost at Pretoriuskop.

Will watch the availability end of June to see what's happening with the Feb booking to know if they are still going ahead at Malelane.

Gamespotter must move his booking to end January if availability does not increase when the deposit is due for Tented camp to pay. Pity we are not on an equal foot like travel trade able to get 4 months before deposit must be paid.

Wow OK or I made a mistake but I'm seriously confident that January 2018 was not availible two days ago.. hence my remark. Indeed it now is for the period Feb-May 2018. Indeed coming July will provide answers O-/ How about booking the remaining sites @ Malelane through a tour operator, selling them at a higher price and donate the proceeds to rhino-poaching? -O- Apparently according to the rules :-?
