It tells you what’s coming up.
This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s Kruger tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.
Tap to listen
Stevenson-Hamilton Memorial Viewpoint
“The pull-off coming up is for the Stevenson-Hamilton Memorial, a rocky granite hill where you can get out for some fantastic panoramic views.”
Real stops, real narration
The tips that save your Kruger day.
Three real lines from the narration, each with the app’s tip for that stop, at three of the most-loved stops in Kruger.
-
Mathekenyane Lookout
Sunrise“Up ahead you'll see a sign for Mathekenyane Lookout. It's a big granite hill, what's called a 'koppie' here, that you can drive right to the top of.”
App tip Time your stop for sunrise or sunset and watch gate-closing times.
-
Nkumbe Viewpoint
Birding“The pull-off ahead is for the Nkumbe Viewpoint, a great spot on the H10 road to get out and stretch your legs. Its main purpose is to give you a massive, big-sky panorama looking out over the Lowveld.”
App tip Aim for early morning—cooler temps and the best light with the view facing west.
-
Gardenia Hide
Birding“You're nearing the access road for Gardenia Hide, a quiet viewing shelter overlooking a waterhole.”
App tip Reach it from Malelane Gate via S25, then branch onto S119; allow extra time for gravel.

“We just used the app this morning on our drive around Cades Cove and it provided a lot of info along the way and greatly enhanced our experience! And to top it off, we saw a female black bear and her two cubs just before the halfway point!”
“Great app , works offline and audio tour while driving its amazing.”
“Loved it after I figured out how to use the app, the information was very interesting and the automatic play as you drive was very convenient. The map came in handy too when we lost connection on our GPS. Thank you!”
“We loved the fun facts and found spots we wouldn’t have otherwise. It’s awesome that it works offline too.”

Questions before you go
How does the self-guided Kruger tour work?
Open Parkwolf, tap Start Tour Guide and drive. Your phone’s GPS triggers each story as you approach an overlook, trailhead, pullout or hidden spot. There’s no set route, so take any road in any order.
Will it help me plan my Kruger itinerary?
Yes. Every stop has the app’s tips on timing, parking and crowds, and every trail lists its distance, climb and time, so you can plan your day before you go. Then the guide narrates it as you drive.
Does it work without cell service?
Yes. Download Kruger before you go and the map, the narration and every tip work offline, even where your phone shows no bars.
What does it cover?
Overlooks, trailheads, pullouts and hidden spots across Kruger National Park, from Mathekenyane Lookout, Nkumbe Viewpoint and Gardenia Hide: 204 stories in all.
How much does it cost?
Parkwolf is free to download. The Tour Guide is part of Parkwolf PRO, which starts with a free trial, and one subscription covers everyone listening in your car.
Does it work with CarPlay or Android?
Both. Parkwolf works with Apple CarPlay, and it’s available on Google Play for Android.
Can I use it in other parks?
Yes. The same guide covers 100+ national parks, state parks and scenic drives, from Yellowstone to the Blue Ridge Parkway.
