SpotIt Game Parks

Turn every game drive into your own safari logbook. See an animal, tap it, and SpotIt quietly saves the moment — where and when you saw it — so your trip grows into a living map of everything you've found. Choose your park and it's yours offline: the full species checklist, the roads, the camps and gates and waterholes, and a map that works with no signal at all. Each park keeps its own sightings, trips and achievements, so a week in Kruger and a week in Etosha stay separate stories. **Parks included** *(56 parks, 14 countries)* - - **South Africa:** Kruger, plus the Greater Kruger reserves Sabi Sand, Timbavati, Klaserie, Balule and MalaMala; Pilanesberg, Addo Elephant, Hluhluwe–iMfolozi, Marakele, Mapungubwe, Karoo, Mokala, Mountain Zebra, West Coast, iSimangaliso, Ithala, Madikwe, Dinokeng, Rietvlei, Kgalagadi - **Namibia:** Etosha - **Zimbabwe:** Hwange - **Eswatini:** Hlane Royal - **Botswana:** Chobe - **Zambia:** South Luangwa, Lower Zambezi - **Uganda:** Queen Elizabeth - **Kenya:** Masai Mara, Tsavo East, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Nairobi National Park - **Tanzania:** Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire - **United Kingdom:** Richmond Park, Epping Forest, Knepp Wildland, New Forest, Exmoor, Cairngorms - **Germany:** Bavarian Forest, Müritz, Berchtesgaden, Eifel, Harz - **France:** Vanoise, Mercantour, Camargue, Cévennes, Pyrénées - **United States:** Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Rocky Mountain, Great Smoky, Mountains, Everglades, Theodore Roosevelt, Custer State Park - **Australia:** Kakadu, Wilsons Promontory, Flinders Chase (Kangaroo Island), Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair, Maria Island, Cape Range (Ningaloo) Wherever animals roam free — a Kruger game drive, a Highland hike, a bison jam in the Black Hills — the same logbook works, on foot or behind the wheel. From the Big 5 to the little things most people drive straight past, browse or search the checklist, tick animals off as you go (again and again — every sighting counts), and watch your history, map pins and achievements build up. Made for the bush: - Works completely offline — no signal needed out in the park - Every sighting pinned to the exact spot on an offline park map - A searchable checklist of each park's wildlife, famous and obscure - Collect sets — Big 5, cats, predators and more - An exploration map that fills in as you roam - Park know-how at hand — camps, gates, waterholes and picnic spots - Switch parks any time; nothing is ever mixed together
