schoelinkThemenstarter1'933 Beiträge · seit 200716. März 2010 · #1Zimbabwe's Parks and Wildlife Authority has issued a new schedule of
fees for the period May to December 2010 which will affect wildlife-
based tourism operations in Kariba and the Zambezi valley this year.
Here is a summary of the new changes:
1. Camping: From May 2010, all National Parks campsites will be
charged per site and not per person.
2. Park Accommodation and Entry Rates: The three-tier system of
charging (whereby International visitors are charged more than
Regional visitors who are charged more than Zimbabwe Local Residents),
will be phased out this year so that by January 2011, there will be
only two rates: Non-resident and Resident. However, the three tier
system will continue to apply to Park entry fees.
3. Bookings: Reservations for Parks facilities will, from March
2010, be opened one year in advance to all clients, including Zimbabwe
residents (who were previously restricted to booking only 3 months in
advance). There will be no more "draw" system for Mana Pools and
bookings will be treated on a first come first serve basis, with
payment being demanded up front.
