KrugerExplorer

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.

Version 2 is here – immerse yourself even further in the wonder that is Kruger! We’re very excited to add a lot of new content and functionality to this update:

• Bird audio! There are now over 500 stunning bird call files in the App, showcasing the magical sounds of the bush and helping you learn the many calls and songs you might encountered in Kruger.
• Live location map: By popular request we have added a live GPS tracking map with downloadable offline maps and the works fully offline, so you will always be able to see your live location. Visit the 'Download offline files for Live Location Maps' page in the Maps menu for detailed instructions.
• Your Sightings update: You can now export your sightings to a CSV file, meaning you can use the sightings in many different ways, such as recording a single trip, a single day or even individual game drives, while storing and maintaining your history of sightings however you like in a spreadsheet. Head to the Welcome section and the _Start here: How to use KrugerExplorer_ for a detailed explanation of the new Your Sightings functionality.
• Improved navigation with a menu function that is always available and the option to go back to the 'Last viewed route' so you can quickly skip between species profiles and the guided route you are following.
• Smaller tweaks include adding image labels to quickly explain whether a profile photo is male, female, juvenile etc, new profiles for Kruger’s remote bushveld camps, recent updates to the vagrant bird sightings in the park, hundreds of new images for the mammals and in particular the birds, and a few little bug fixes.

We hope you enjoy exploring these new additions! Best regards, Danny & Charlotte
