They may not always be over the 40km speed limit, but close to it causing clouds of dust, etc. I generally drive/search at around 20 kms/h and find that any faster does not allow you to properly scan/search the veld. The use of radios to broadcast sightings is prevalent!!

They use radios to contact one another; I was at a mating leopard sighting with one OSV and one private car. As I was leaving a convoy of nine OSVs came onto the sighting - this is not by chance! At a lion sighting on the LS - Skukuza Road the outside lane from the sighting was blocked by an OSV, he gave me all sorts of hand signs when I asked him to move to let me through. These are just two unsavory events that I have experienced with OSVs. As an overseas visitor who spends and average of two weeks per trip, staying in rondawel accommodation, I expect some form of actual control by the SANParks over tour operators. Not the buck passing to some unregulated group that self serve their own interests when it comes to ensuring discipline. Thanks you for your time.
