    With multiple R200 forms, you can get anything through the border unfortunately. The biggest issue is the Kruger National Park crosses over into our neighbouring countries, so when the anti poaching units are chasing poachers once they reach the invincible border in the park they are not allowed to engage further, or that’s the last I heard one of the big loop holes where. Hope they will one day fix this
