QUESTION 4
41 The Kruger National Park is a popular tourist destination. Some information about the
park is given below:
The speed limit inside the park is:
e 50 km/h on tarred roads
© 40 knv/h on gravel (dirt) roads
Gate times:
e Entrance gates open at 05:30
e Camp gates open at 04:30
e All gates close at 18:30
ANNEXURE D shows a part of the map of the Kruger National Park and TABLE 4
shows the distances between the camps and gates.
Use the information above and ANNEXURE D to answer the questions that follow.
4.1.1 Give TWO possible reasons why there are specific times for the gates to
open and close.
4.1.2 Ludwe enters the Park through the gate located northwest of Crocodile
Bridge, which has no camp. He travels in as easterly direction until he
finally reaches the first camp. Write down Ludwe's final destination.
4.1.3 Show (by calculation) that the distance shown on the distance table from
Orpen to Lower Sabie, is the route via Satara.
4.14 Determine the difference in the number of main camps and other camps
on this part of the map.
4.1.5 Ludwe left Skukuza at 17:03 and had to be out of the park through the
Malelane Gate before 18:30 the same day. The distance on the gravel road
is the same as the distance on the tarred road.
Calculate at what time he would reach the Malelane Gate if he used the
gravel road.
The following formula may be used:
Distance = speed x time
4.1.6 Give a possible reason why most people visiting the park prefer to travel
on the gravel roads than on the tarred roads.
