South African National Parks are asking tourists to disable the geo locator function when they post photos.
Poachers have been using live posts to 'race' to the scene of tourists sightings with a view to following and killing the animals.
It's also been stated that the use of geo tagging in real time posts, is being used by other tourists who are in the same park, to race to new sightings which is leading to increased incidents of animals being killed in collisions, this new behaviour has been branded the 'Ferrari safari'.
