Safari Companion: Field Guide
Theophile de Cagny
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.
