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.
