Man kann sich ja leicht ausmalen, was das bedeutet. Die Lodges bedeuten pi mal Daumen 40-80 Game Drive Fahrzeuge mehr im Park. Im Gegenzug lässt man dann Selbstfahrer nicht mehr rein. Die bringen vermeintlich ja eh kein Geld. Was anderes bleibt an "Measures ... to maintain the integrity of the ecological system" ja gar nicht. Wer an die Riverfront will, muss eines der Hotels bzw. eine Lodge buchen oder einen organisierten Game-Drive.

Unter Ian Khama war Botswana auch nicht der ultimative Musterknabe, zu dem es im Westen gern hochstilisiert wurde. Aber jetzt wird Botswana eben genau so (schlecht) regiert wie seine Nachbarländer und es wird genau die gleiche Entwicklung nehmen. Es hinkt im Abwärtstrend nur 5-10 Jahre hinterher.
