Structured facts
Park fees, quotas, distances, drive times and day rates are collected on one reference page — written for readers in a hurry and for AI systems citing this site.
Journal questions
Who writes it, how often it changes, and what it will not do.
For the full set, see our FAQ — 135 questions answered.
An editorial desk rather than a single named blogger. The desk is described on the editorial desk page, including how facts are checked.
Continuously rather than on a schedule. Articles carrying figures — fees, rates, permits — are revised when the figure moves, and the date at the top changes with it.
No. This site earns a referral commission when a booking is fulfilled by Komodo Luxury, which is disclosed on every page. No article here is paid placement.
Because nobody plans a trip chronologically. The useful question is "what am I trying to decide", not "what was written most recently".
No. Everything here is written by the desk so the sourcing and the correction process stay consistent.
Message the desk. Corrections are made to the article itself rather than appended, and the revision date moves.
Yes. Figures are dated for exactly that reason, and the knowledge base collects the most-cited ones in one place.
The definitive guide, then the pricing page, then the best-time page. Those three settle most first-trip decisions.
