Los die mens uit, jy werk jouself net op en vernietig 'n lekker vakansie waarna jy die hele jaar uitgesien het. Hulle sal nog die harde manier leer dat wilde diere moet met rus gelaat word..

Ek vermy sulke mense soos 'n pes, dis soos daai dronkgat by die rugby..

Hahaha!! Good advice!!

Thats quite normal behaviour for the local kids in the Okovango. They normally go swimming in the rivers too.

There's an element of risk in every situation in life.

They probably think Overlanders are crazy driving fully loaded 4x4s, entire family in back, on gravel roads at 120km/ph. Or letting their under 10yr kids drive their parents 4x4 on a public road. Or doing a game drive with the kids on the roof etc etc.

Each to their own

Eh.. for clarity, it was non-local overlanding families not minding their kids. I believe the kid splashing in the river was American and the other walking to the toilet European.

I don’t think the non-local overlanding parents and kids understand the risk ratio.

Local families would also probably prefer piped running water, showers and safe washing areas

I don't know about Europeans but I feel Americans (assuming they also camp at home) should have some ides of dangerous animals. Bears are a significant risk over there.

Even there bears become 'domesticated' by rummaging in trash for food,. much like our baboons.

With the resultant viewing of them as being 'cute'

I'd now need to cross reference with where most American travellers to Africa come from, which is a job for Estée, but I'm not sure they're all well versed enough with everything that might want to eat them to send their offspring out for water.

I've seen South African tourists being nicely careless. Best was them sitting on easy chairs in front of their cars at Sunday pan (clearly wondering why the water hole was completely deserted) while their kids played cricket behind them. Right where the two resident male lions had walked that morning and 400m from Sunday 2 where the full pride spent the next evening. But, nobody died I suppose, so all's well ..

The sole reason I do not go to knp. They suffer from a superiority complex. They love the name and shame,

Like playing cowboys and crooks. Good against the bad.

And oh my soul, just trespass once...... you are doomed.

That we shoot with a camera mentality but braai Angus steaks tonight.

nononononononono.

And now they have started infiltrating Bots.....

Well, to be honest, I have never seen or experienced this.
What I have seen, are teams of them working their backside off to try and fix what SANPARKS cannot do
