A chip can be implanted, and the game drive vehicles can be informed by radio. No need to equip the rangers/vehicles with tracking devices. I'm not saying or even suggesting that Kwandwe is doing this, I wouldn't know. Their head ranger has recently moved back to his old stomping grounds. Next time I see him I shall ask.

The average casual visitor is most unlikely to notice any difference.
