Description

Welcome to KrugerExplorer – the all-in-one encyclopedia to Kruger National Park. Whether you are planning your South African safari, need the perfect companion guide for your self-drive Kruger experience, or simply want to explore Kruger from the comfort of home, you will find everything you need in the KrugerExplorer App. This App explores the Greater Kruger in unparalleled detail, and includes: - The most extensive Kruger wildlife Field Guide ever created. - Guided Routes that share our knowledge of the park’s roads from years of exploring Kruger. - The most up-to-date Kruger Maps available, helping you navigate the park’s 3,500km road network including several newly opened roads. - Live GPS map with downloadable offline maps so you always know your location. - Extensive sections on Kruger’s Rest Camps, Itineraries, Accommodation, plus exclusive Special Offers & Competitions. - Thousands of stunning photographic images and audio files to reveal all the beauty of Kruger’s wildlife. - And once downloaded, the App works 100% offline – perfect for exploring the Kruger! The Field Guide section is unprecedented in its focus on Kruger’s wildlife. It includes over 700 species profiles detailing physical characteristics, behaviours and locations, and each is accompanied by breathtaking photography to aid identification. The 700+ species profiles cover: - All 148 mammal species ever recorded in Kruger, including the best places to find them. - Over 60 footprint graphics so you can identify wildlife spoor. - 500+ bird species, including all of Kruger’s resident, migrant visitor and vagrant records since 2010. Stunning bird photography includes male, female, juvenile and breeding plumage where relevant. - Over 500 bird audio files bring the sounds of the bush to life. - 60+ profiles of commonly encountered reptiles and invertebrates, including crocodiles, snakes, lizards, tortoises, butterflies, spiders & much more. The Guided Routes use our experience from many years exploring Kruger to create 70+ incredible journeys through the park: - The routes are like having an in-person guide in your pocket. Each includes extensive commentary that doesn’t just say, “Take that road because it’s good for lions,” but instead explains the geology of each area, which in turn informs the flora that grows there, the herbivores that eat that flora and, ultimately, the predators that hunt those herbivores. - Each route will help you develop an intimate insight into Kruger’s incredible wilderness. - Each of the rest camps and entrance gates is covered with short, medium and full-day routes to explore. The Maps are the most detailed and up-to-date available: - They include newly opened roads and correct errors found in the maps available in the park shops. - For first-time visitors to Kruger, note that you are not provided with a map and must buy one from a park shop at a cost similar to this App. - The live GPS map means you'll never get lost. With over half a million words of content, KrugerExplorer is the most comprehensive and unparalleled encyclopedia for the Greater Kruger ever created. Since launching in 2019, the App has had a superb reception from fans and received wonderful accolades: - Downloads in over 80 countries - App Store “App of the Day” - “Recommended” commendation by BirdLife South Africa - “Highly Recommended” by Getaway Magazine KrugerExplorer is also a global community of wildlife lovers.

    Most of this information is accessible on Google. Except here you pay $12 + for paragraph upon paragraph upon paragraph. An app that needs a paragraph of “how to use” for every landing page is not a user friendly app. I still don’t know where to find the elephant spots or lion spots or the best times. Which time of year which animal migrates to. I guess I have to read this novel of an app first. Something I could have continued to do on Google for free. Don’t recommend. Just google

    So far loving the app. Headed to Kruger in a couple weeks. Wondering if road closures in Kruger are noted anywhere in the app?

  • Virtual Safari Guide!

    Whether it’s your first safari or you’re returning to Kruger National Park for another visit, the Kruger Explorer app will take a lot of the guesswork out of planning your safari and function as your virtual guide throughout your adventure! The content is superb and easy to navigate. I appreciate the bottom-up approach to first understanding the land and how a particular habitat supports wildlife. The content is what one would expect from a professional wildlife guide including tons of fun facts and information on which routes in Kruger will improve the likelihood of viewing a given species. I’ve enjoyed referencing the animal profiles to learn more about the species I photographed during my first visit to Kruger in May 2019 and found the app invaluable in planning a 39-day, self-guided safari in October 2019. I highly recommend the Kruger Explorer app!

    This was our first trip to Kruger NP and I couldn’t imagine our trip without this app. Highly, highly recommend. It’s worth the $12 for the high resolution and easy to use maps section alone! We loved the sightings tracker and made a routine of logging our daily sightings over dinner each night. A must have for any trip to Kruger, particularly for novices like us.

    Loved the intuitive interface and extra information on every animal/bird. High res photos of the animals enhances the experience and learning. Loved the Afrikaans bird names- hope you are planning to add the Zulu name too at some future date. Fairly priced considering the work and development for this premium quality app. Will never have to buy a paper map of the park again. Yay for me and yay for the environment. Sightings record a lovely add-on. Constructive criticism for updates as I believe you will continue to improve the app. Would love to have bird sounds, photos of the juvenile birds and if we could have the option t date sightings. So you can have a record of sightings for a particular KNP trip. Very happy with my purchase.
  • Must have for any Kruger experience!

    I can’t recommend this app enough to anyone visiting the Kruger area for any reason! It is such an easy to use and extremely informative app. From finding the best routes to identifying the smallest bird you have it all right in the palm of your hand! A perfect guide! 10/10! 🤍
  • Best Kruger Guide

    On our visits to Kruger, I use the app for a map, and to look up mammals and birds. We have found out so many interesting things - like your Vagrant Bird information. At night, around the braii, we discuss our days sightings, and inevitably the Kruger Explorer App comes out to clarify or inform. For me, it also comes in so handy when I’m sadly not in Kruger. I look up sighting locations, read up on mammals and birds, read distance charts and gate times to help plan our next trip, and many other ways. I can’t imagine going to Kruger without this app.
  • Techie Approved - Excellent App

    This app is an AMAZING app. MY HUBBY AND I ARE RETIRED TECHIES and are amazed at the info in this app. And it’s all VERY USEFUL and very well laid out. Before you head to Kruger, this is an essential travel tool. Being able to have the maps and information available OFFLINE while you are in the park is invaluable (and the pictures and maps are exceptionally detailed). As you travel through the park, you can document your sightings of birds, beasts, flora and fauna. Be sure to read their information on Being Your Own Safari Guide! This section has lots of great info and tips on how to have a great safari. You can also use the app to book your reservations. I can assure you that they respond rapid fire quickly. This is truly one of the best planning and traveling apps we have used. Is it worth the download price? YES IT IS!!!!!!
