PawSpot - Ethical Guiding

Designed for safari guides, conservancies, and wildlife professionals, this app enhances coordination, communication, and wildlife monitoring in real time. Guides can log sightings, share updates with their team, and access a live map that improves distribution across the conservancy—reducing congestion, saving fuel, and supporting more sustainable tourism.

Built in collaboration with guides on the ground, the app focuses on ethical wildlife viewing and responsible guiding practices.
