THE Kruger National Park’s Managing Executive,<br />
Dr Bandile Mkhize accepts the new<br />
sighting boards from TotalGaz Managing Director,<br />
Mr Hugo de Meyer.<br />
New boards<br />
for Kruger<br />
Nat Park<br />
GAS supplier TotalGaz recently supplied<br />
replacement game sighting boards to all<br />
the camps in the Kruger National Park<br />
(KNP) in order to make game spotting<br />
easier for tour<strong>is</strong>ts.<br />
“We really appreciate th<strong>is</strong> gesture as it<br />
will not only make it easier for our v<strong>is</strong>itors<br />
to see game, but it also strengthens our<br />
relationship with one of our important<br />
business partners,” said the KNP’s Managing<br />
Executive, Dr Bandile Mkhize.<br />
The sighting boards include a map of the<br />
area, plus photographs of seven key species<br />
– which include cheetah, leopard,<br />
lion, wild dog, buffalo, rhino, elephant –<br />
with the idea that v<strong>is</strong>itors who see these<br />
animals can indicate on the map where<br />
they were spotted.<br />
As they now use magnetic markers as<br />
opposed to the older boards which used<br />
pins, it <strong>is</strong> believed that these new boards<br />
will not only last longer, but they will<br />
remain in good condition as they are more<br />
durable.<br />
The sighting boards were handed over to<br />
Dr Mkhize last week (Tuesday April 22,<br />
2008) by outgoing TotalGaz Managing<br />
Director Mr Hugo de Meyer.<br />
Sighting boards are situated at the reception<br />
building of all SANParks-managed<br />
rest and bush camps in the two<br />
million hectare KNP.
