Kruger Nav

Navigate Kruger National Park with turn-by-turn directions that work anywhere in the park — even with no signal, no data and no roaming. The entire map is already on your phone.

Kruger Nav is an offline-first safari companion, built for one park and nothing else. The map, the routing engine, the wildlife guide and everything you save all live on your device — so the app works exactly the same at a remote waterhole as it does at the gate.

BUILT FOR THE BUSH

Offline turn-by-turn navigation. A custom routing engine plots your drive on the device, with no signal required. It keeps every route inside the park, prefers tar over gravel for a smoother ride, and warns you about closed and restricted roads.

The most detailed Kruger map you'll find. Every road, river, camp, gate, picnic spot and waterhole, drawn in fine detail — with optional terrain hillshade so you can read the hills and valleys.

A wildlife field guide to 240+ animals. Mammals, birds, reptiles and more, each with the best time to spot it, how rare it is in Kruger, plus diet, habitat, behaviour, conservation status and names in five languages.

An offline encyclopedia. Around 3,000 Wikipedia articles on Kruger's wildlife, plants and places, readable with no signal.

See the best roads for sightings. Shade the road network by animal density and head where the wildlife actually is.

Plan the perfect drive. Start from a curated half- or full-day route, or build your own with multiple stops and a realistic bush ETA at your chosen speed.

Read the landscape. Overlay rainfall, river catchments, flora and geology, and tap any zone to learn what you're driving through.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No login. No tracking. No ads. Your saved places and sightings never leave your phone unless you export them. The only things the app ever fetches are updated road data and the weather.

Kruger Nav is an independent app, made by people who'd rather be watching the road for lions. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by SANParks.

Download Kruger Nav and take the whole park with you.

Note: live location and turn-by-turn navigation require GPS. Every iPhone has GPS; on iPad, only cellular (SIM/eSIM) models do — a Wi-Fi-only iPad can view the map but can't show your live location.
