A day in the field

This is what a trip looks like inside the app — your planner's expert notes, your co-traveler's live sightings, and your personal wish-list all updating together in real time.

Day 3  ·  Masai Mara, Kenya 🌿 Land Realm
5:30am
Wake-up call & packed breakfast
Early start to catch first light on the plains. Predator activity peaks in the two hours after dawn.
6:00am
Morning game drive — Mara River
Head directly to the crossing point. Migration timing is peak — wildebeest are massing on the north bank.
● African Lion — on your list Cheetah Wildebeest
12:30pm
Lunch & rest at camp
Wildlife slows in the midday heat. Review this morning's sightings and update your log before the afternoon drive.
4:00pm
Afternoon drive — Bila Shaka area
Best light of the day. Highest cheetah density in the Mara — and where leopard are often found at dusk.
Lilac-breasted Roller Leopard
7:30pm
Dinner & debrief at camp
Log your sightings. Tomorrow: early departure south toward Amboseli and Kilimanjaro views.
🧭 Your travel planner
"Be at the Mara River by 6:30am. Watch for the herd massing on the north bank — when the lead animals start pacing the water's edge, a crossing is usually 20 minutes away. Don't leave early."

The Journey Book

Every trip you take becomes a beautifully assembled photo book — your photos, your sightings, your itinerary, all in one place. Browse it online the moment you're home. Order a printed copy to keep on your shelf forever.

📸

Built from your trip photos

Upload photos as you go or all at once when you're back. The app assembles them into a beautifully laid-out book alongside your itinerary and sighting log.

🦁

Your sightings, not just your photos

Every species you logged on the trip appears in your book — with the date, the location, and the park. Your wildlife record, beautifully presented.

📖

Digital first, print on demand

Your Journey Book lives in the app from the moment the trip ends. When you're ready, order a premium printed copy — hardcover, lay-flat binding, ready for the coffee table.

👥

Shared with everyone on the trip

Co-travelers see the same book. Everyone's photos can go in. One book tells the whole story — from every angle, every vehicle, every perspective.

27 wildlife regions. One world.

Every dot is a place worth going. Filter by realm — then click any region to discover what waits there.

Depth across all three realms

Most wildlife guides know one ecosystem well. I've spent years building deep experience across the land, ocean, and sky — and building the tools to make that experience shareable.

From mountain gorillas in Bwindi to whale sharks in the open ocean, from the Serengeti migration to the birding hotspots of East Africa — I've built itineraries and led travelers across the full spectrum of wildlife travel.

The wildlife tracker software grew out of a simple frustration: no existing app was built for the serious wildlife traveler. So I built one.
