There are a bunch of points here that were listed as villages. This seems totally inappropriate for things such as the Toposcope, or the entrance to the game reserve.

I have changed these to either points or isolated dwellings. I have noticed that there are quite a few of these, when making maps of the area where I want to show villages.

Is there a guideline for tagging camps and things in game reserves?

Lots of little complexes here. Should probably put the internal roads in. This is a reminder for me to do it at some point.

This stretch of road is under construction, using that term extremely loosely, since there was nothing actually happening in November. I doubt that there has been much since....

It should probably be avoided if possible, given that there are no road markings, much of the road is currently gravel, the access control is non-existent, and so on.

I have changed it to "unpaved", but am not sure if there is more we can/should do. There are no temporary detours around the roadworks.

A lot of the places around this note are marked as place:suburb.
I would suggest that they should be changed to villages, based on size, and also because they are not part of a larger urban area (although it is relatively densely populated).
cf: place=suburb which suggests "Use place=suburb to identify a major area in a place=town or place=city with a distinct and recognised local name and identity."

I do not feel that this is the case in this area, so perhaps place=village would be better suited?
