AfriBush — Bush OS for when the signal disappears
A planned safari system combining offline reserve maps, convoy sightings, wildlife identification, and a long-range vehicle-to-vehicle puck.
- For
- Safari guests, guides, lodges, and conservation teams
- Worth noticing
- BushLink is described as linking convoy phones up to 15 km apart without towers, roaming, or mobile signal.
Field notes
The proposed workflow starts with downloading a reserve bundle before departure, then uses the phone’s satellite receiver rather than cellular coverage for positioning. Sightings can include species, count, behavior, compass bearing, and photographs, while BushLink is described as relaying them among convoy vehicles. The page also distinguishes ordinary mapping from BushSense, which is intended to keep sensitive wildlife locations out of view.
