Camp Chat Rooms: Each major rest camp (such as Skukuza, Satara, or Lower Sabie) has its own dedicated chat room.

Geofenced Access: To keep chats clean and relevant, you can only view and post in a chat room when you are physically inside that camp.

Safety, Gate Times & Conservation One-Click Emergency Call: Instantly dial SANParks Emergency services and national help lines (112) directly from the app.

Camp Gate Times: Always know when camp gates open and close for every month of the year to avoid lockouts and fines.
