About Bushwak: Wildlife safari guide
Bushwak is your online wildlife guide, animal identification tool and safari companion for Kruger National Park, Pilanesberg, Addo Elephant National Park and other African game reserves. Discover 500+ wildlife species. Explore 500+ animal and bird species with high-quality imagery, useful identification details and fascinating fun facts. Learn about each animal’s diet, size, lifespan, young, behaviour and more - making every wildlife encounter more meaningful. Identify what you see Not sure what you have spotted? Use simple wildlife identification filters to narrow down species by animal class, size, colour, shape and other visible features. Search by name or browse the animal list to discover everything from iconic Big Five animals to birds, reptiles, insects and smaller creatures. Log every wildlife sighting Record sightings as they happen on your game drive. Log the species, location, number seen, activity and photos, then revisit your wildlife memories whenever you like. See sighting details and explore what has been spotted nearby. Safari maps that work offline Built for time in the bush, Bushwak lets you access animal information, logged sightings, your wildlife life list and safari maps offline when signal is limited. You can also log sightings and take photos offline; your uploads will be shared with the community once you have signal again. Build your wildlife life list Create a personal record of every species you encounter. Track your progress across animal groups and see where you have explored with your personal location heatmap. Earn points as you explore Collect points for every wildlife sighting. The rarer the species, the more points you earn - turning every safari into a rewarding challenge. Find the Big Five, discover lesser-known species and build a life list that reflects your own adventures in the wild. Share sightings with the community Bushwak is a community for people who love African wildlife. Upload your sightings and photos to the community feed, discover wildlife moments shared by other safari travellers, and explore recent sightings on the map. Bushwak supports respectful wildlife viewing. Public sightings help you understand what has been seen in an area, not rush towards an animal or create traffic jams. The joy of the bush is still in finding wildlife for yourself. To protect wildlife, sightings of vulnerable species are never shared publicly. Whether you are planning a Kruger safari, travelling through a South African game reserve or exploring further across Africa, Bushwak brings together a wildlife guide, animal identifier, sightings map, offline safari maps and personal safari journal in one app. Let's get bushwak-y and explore the wild!
