This is your African Safari digital guidebook. 200+ animals, 500+ photos, sounds of the Big Five, and a checklist map of your animal sightings that you can share with friends on Facebook, Twitter or via Email. Everything works OFFLINE. No internet connection needed. African Safari Tracker is the number one animal and wildlife app for the discerning safari enthusiast.

“If you are going on an African Safari, this is a must have app. Worth every penny.”

"Perfect complement for game drives. Works without an internet connection and comes chock full of information and photos on every animal. I surprised our guide more than once with nuggets this app uncovered."

“Well written, well researched, well curated. It’s not just a dump of Wikipedia. It is very easy to get facts on animals then deep dive if time permits. Guidebooks overwhelm with detail. This app strikes the right balance.”

“The location filter was a huge time saver. It only showed us animals in our area so we could quickly find the right animal and pull up detail. Nice touch.”

"I loved being able to keep track of all my sightings on a map. The pins with the animal silhouettes were a big hit, like a treasure map of our safari."

"When we got back to the lodge, I emailed our map to friends back home. My husband appreciated having a map instead of paper checklist. “

“Super slick interface. I like all the animations and swiping through quick facts. Cool to collect animal badges with my sightings and post to Facebook.”

“We didn’t get to hear a lion roar so we played the lion sound over and over again in the app. I had no idea it sounded like that.”
