Kruger - it's too late for 2010 bookings


It seems as though the Big Five is more famous than Maroon 5 (those whining wannabes from the States who graced Saffas with their presence at the end of last year).
Tourists who were keen to slot the Kruger Park into their 2010 holiday are going to be disappointed - apparently the game reserve is already fully booked. The Times reports that all 24 camps were booked out by 9.30am on July 1, the day reservations opened. According to a South African National Parks spokesperson, reservations opened at 7.30am and the reserve's call centre fielded 5,000 bookings and 500 emails.
Now that's almost as fast as bookings for some really good rock concert.

Whingers - should they be allowed to speak?

Saffanisms (AKA buzzwords)

Saffa (n): South Africans. Usually used to describe expats (fondly)
Saffagette (n): A South African whose vote is reserved for Mzansi, the Motherland. A Saffagette is not an ostrich. A Saffagette has a vote and is determined to stand in a queue to cast it.
Saffavescence (n): Developed from saffervescence, which is a slang derivative of effervescence. Saffavescence means awesome, amazing - in a South African sense of course.
Saffaring (v): Being patriotic.
Suffaring (v): Having to listen to others not being patriotic.
