It's ages ago since I was there, and things change all the time.

Mind you, if they were checking at entrance points, the scenario of
hiring a guide at Seronera wouldn't apply, inasmuch as you could say
you were going to hire a guide, then not do it, or even buy a voucher
for a guide at the entrance (in theory) then not 'redeem' it. So I
guess the rules have certainly changed. It's a good idea, as it means
more people can get employment from wildlife tourism (economic
benefit).
