The problem

Every other Kruger guide
is stuck in 2005.

Paper checklists. Outdated PDFs. Generic wildlife apps with no GPS, no live data and no offline mode. You deserve better.

Paper checklists

Paper checklists

Can't show you where other visitors are seeing animals right now. Can't navigate. Can't log your sightings with GPS. Just a list.

Static field guides

Static field guides

Beautiful books that weigh 2kg and go out of date the moment they're printed. No signal needed — because they do nothing that needs signal.

No signal

Apps that need signal

Most Kruger roads have zero mobile data. An app that stops working the moment you enter the park isn't a Kruger app — it's a liability.

What visitors say

From the people
on the roads.

Family on safari in Kruger
★★★★★
"Found a leopard sighting on the S36 that other users had logged 20 minutes before we got there. We sat and waited. It was still there. This app paid for itself in the first hour."

★★★★★
"The gate timer alone is worth the price. We were on the S100 with 25 minutes to Phabeni and completely lost track of time. The red countdown got us back in time. No fine."

★★★★★
"Bought the family pack for our Kruger trip. All four of us had it running on our phones. The kids were obsessed with the bingo card. Best R600 we spent on the whole trip."

FAQ

Questions answered.

Does it work without signal in Kruger? +
Yes — fully. The wildlife guide, trip planner, gate timer, GPS finder and trip journal all work with zero mobile data. The live feed shows your last cached content offline and updates automatically the moment signal returns.
What phone does it work on? +
Any iPhone running iOS 16.4 or later, or any Android with Chrome. Open the link in your browser, tap Add to Home Screen and it installs like a native app — no App Store, no Google Play.
How do the Family Pack keys work? +
You receive 5 independent license keys. The first key is yours. The other 4 are gift keys — share them with anyone via WhatsApp, SMS or email. Each recipient enters their key on their own device and their 12 months starts from that moment. Gift keys don't expire until they're activated — no rush to share them.
What if I get a new phone? +
Your key works again on your new device. Just open the app, enter the same key and unlock. Your remaining license time carries over automatically — if you had 6 months left, you still have 6 months. Your sightings and trip data restore from the cloud automatically.
How long until I receive my key? +
Within 20 minutes of your Etsy purchase. The key is generated and emailed automatically. Check your spam folder if you don't see it. Still nothing? Email basecamp@krantzoutdoors.com with your order number and we'll sort it immediately.
Is the sighting data from real people? +
Yes. The live feed shows real GPS-tagged sightings from verified app users currently in Kruger, combined with road advisories and SANParks notices. Wildlife moves — always treat sighting times as approximate and approach with patience.
Will the app be updated? +
Yes — free and automatic for the duration of your license. When you open the app it checks for the latest version and updates silently. Species data, road intelligence and features are updated regularly. No action needed on your part.

Your next Kruger trip
deserves better.
