KrugerExplorer

I used this app to track and get details about any critter I saw in the park. A wonderful resource that works offline and keeps your sightings consolidated and accessible. Had an issue where the app stopped opening but a quick email to the developer got me up and running again with no issue. Great tool for your visit to Kruger and likely mostly applicable in most of Africa.

While it worked, this app was great - it was useful for route guidance, maps, animal info, and tracking sightings; however, it started crashing right after opening the app halfway through my trip and was unusable. I tried restarting my phone, force quitting the app, etc, but nothing worked. There also was not enough cell service or wifi in the middle of the park to try deleting and reinstalling the app, so overall I can’t recommend it or say it’s worth the money.

As a lover of all things Kruger, I open this app almost every day - to look at facts about animals I’ve seen, figure out routes in the park, learn something new, and generally just think about my favorite place! Recently we had some trouble with the app, reached out and got a quick response. Our issue had nothing to do with the app, instead it was a technology issue. The dedicated team at Kruger Explorer understood our problem and walked us through the solution even though it had nothing to do with them or their product. Best customer service I’ve seen in a long time!

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?

I bought the app. Used it once and now it won’t open and I can’t reliad it or get help

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.

Useless app!!! I want my money back!!!!! The app Latestsightings is both free and much much much better!!! Dont waste your money on this!

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.
