They must first find someone who takes the bait and that's not easy in South Africa of today.

It's the same thing. The two should have been divided from the beginning. When I have time I'll do it, if not it will become a mess 0*\

Apart from the Lodge, there is also the HUB so in fact three topics.

Question 32 Will gate access be 24 / 7 for the Phalaborwa Lodge? (PSL).
Answer 32 This was the original intention for the PPP opportunity; however, due to
current safety requirements, particularly as part of anti-poaching efforts,
there may be limitations imposed, for example latest access by 11pm.

Question 33 Will the number of vehicles operated by the Phalaborwa Lodge be
allowed to match the number of beds? (PSL).
Answer 33 The intention of the lodge is not to provide a full scope of activities; guests
should be taken to the Phalaborwa Activity Hub to participate in activities.
The number of vehicles will be confirmed but will not be more than 10
(and OSV licenses will be required for these vehicles).

It will be very close to the Letaba Lodge and outside the park. Competition?
