Guided by an app, visitors to Kruger National Park are tearing off in their SUVs to spots where wildlife has just been sighted. \u201cTwo rhinos near Makhadzi\u201d and off they go. Barely avoiding a family of warthogs crossing the road.<\/p>\n<p>Apps like <em>Latest Sightings, <\/em>enabling users to pinpoint locations where something special has been spotted is a godsend for those who want quick results. At the same time, it leads to headaches. According to the management of the overarching SANParks, the apps are resulting in \u201can increasing level of lawlessness in the parks, leading to speeding offences, traffic jams and collisions with wildlife\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, not everyone wants to whizz through the park in this way. SANParks says it receives numerous complaints from people who enjoy having their patience rewarded after endless searching with an unspoiled glimpse of a leopard in a tree. There is no simple solution. SANParks says it is considering legal measures to curb the use of the apps.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: F. de Vries \u2013 Elsevier magazine issue 25 \u2013 25 June 2016<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Zuid Afrika \/ App om dieren te lokaliseren bezorgt leiding van Krugerpark kopzorgen.
