It tells you what’s coming up.
This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s Serengeti tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.

Simba Kopjes: The Real Pride Rock
“The rock formations coming into view are the Simba Kopjes. 'Simba' is the Swahili word for lion, and these rocks absolutely live up to that name.”
Real stops, real narration
The tips that save your Serengeti day.
Three real lines from the narration, each with the app’s tip for that stop, at three of the most-loved stops in the Serengeti.
-
Moru Kopjes
Bigcats“You're driving into the Moru Kopjes area, which are these ancient granite rock formations that pop up from the sea of grass.”
App tip Aim for dawn or late afternoon for softer light and more active predators; a 300 mm+ lens helps.
-
Maasai Kopjes
Lions“You're heading into the Maasai Kopjes area, which is famous for its granite outcrops that look like islands in a sea of grass. This is prime lion territory.”
App tip Plan a midday restroom stop at the Seronera Visitor Center or a serviced picnic site.
-
Ndutu Airstrip
Airport“The dirt runway coming up is the Ndutu Airstrip, which drops people right into the heart of the southern Serengeti.”
App tip Ask your lodge/driver to meet you and to confirm restroom access during waits.

“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 Serengeti 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 Serengeti 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 the Serengeti 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 Serengeti National Park, from Moru Kopjes, Maasai Kopjes and Ndutu Airstrip: 134 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.
Download the Serengeti before you lose signal.
Free to download. Your guide starts talking the moment you start driving.
