Safari Companion: Field Guide

Heading into the bush? Pack smart with a park-by-park checklist, then log every lion, leopard, and elephant as you spot it. Fully offline - no account, no signal needed.

Every unforgettable safari begins long before your first game drive — and Safari Companion is with you the whole way.

Part trip planner, part field journal, Safari Companion helps you prepare for your adventure and capture every sighting, all from a calm, beautiful app that works completely offline out in the bush.

PREPARE WITH CONFIDENCE Get a curated, region-aware checklist tailored to the exact park you're visiting — documents, health and malaria reminders, smart packing, and before-you-go essentials. It even surfaces the details that catch travelers out, from tsetse-fly clothing tips to the altitude and cold on the Ngorongoro Crater rim.

TRACK EVERY SIGHTING Chase the Big Five with a live progress tracker, and log any animal with a single tap. Each park comes with its own species list — big game, antelope and small game, birds, and reptiles — with around 35 to 40 animals to look for. Every species includes a field-ID tip, its Swahili name so you can call it out to your guide, and real field photographs.

RELIVE THE JOURNEY When you're home, your Trip Recap gathers it all into a keepsake: summary stats, your Big Five status, prep progress, and the full list of everything you saw.
