Campers looking for destinations to explore don’t have to stress about where to look after GallivantingSA launched its innovative camp site searching app.

The camping app debuted at the Caravan SA Show 2024 and promises to revolutionise the camping experience for campers on the hunt for places to explore.

At it’s core, the free-to-use mobile app is a campsite and services directory catering to campers, caravaners, motorhome enthusiasts, camper-van owners and 4x4 adventurers seeking campgrounds across Southern Africa, including Namibia, Botswana and Mozambique.

The app features include map functionality for easy navigation and location of campsites, robust filter functionality to tailor search results to individual preferences, comprehensive campground listings with 900 sites, and advice on camping related matters such as packing lists.

According to GallivantingSA founders, Alan and Sandy Morton, who are also seasoned campers with extensive experience of overland travel and camping, the app was created in a bid to provide a seamless experience for users to locate campsites, plan trips, and enhance their overall camping experience.

“GallivantingSA is more than an App; it’s an initiative born out of our passion for camping and the overland travelling community.

“We aim to provide a streamlined and modern platform for campers to explore the best of Southern Africa’s camping destinations,” said the founders.

The app, which is an extension of GallivantingSA’s website, was developed by SMART Communication Solutions, is compatible with iOS, Android and Huawei.
