Botswana Self Drive urgent

[luangwablondes]

Hi

I received the following email:

HI all
tourism had a meeting last Friday . they want to close all self drives in Botswana and only lodges and safari companies will be allowed to take pax into the parks.

A representative for all the self drives, Deon, is going to the presidents office on monday so we are looking for as much info as we can.
please let me know how many pax/vehicles you are excepting for 2010 , as this will effect everyone. food stores, employment, breakdowns, fuel sales, park entrance etc..
we need to give them as much info as we can to plead our case
do you think you can let me know by this afternoon.
many thanks
brenda

Please participate so we can throw the numbers together to strengthen the hire companies' case. For companies, this information is intended to remain confidential.

I am trying to contact as many self drive hire companies as possible.

Any individual and groups of friends driving their own 4x4s can add their voices- a separate category of self drives.

Any companies doing guided self drive tours can add their voices - a separate category.
