GallivantingSA, a dynamic name in the camping community, is set to revolutionise the camping experience with the launch of their new App at the Caravan SA Show 2024.

The GallivantingSA App is a free-to-use mobile campsite and services directory catering to campers, caravaners, motorhome enthusiasts, camper-van owners and 4×4 adventurers seeking campgrounds across Southern Africa, including Namibia, Botswana and Mozambique.

• Robust filter functionality to tailor search results to individual preferences;
• Comprehensive campground listings with 900 sites already listed and growing weekly;
• Descriptions for each campsite, highlighting amenities such as power, braais, water points, nearby services and much more;
• User-friendly tutorial library and email-based support;
• Advice on camping related matters such as packing lists, homologation and again, much more.
• Hosted on the cloud, makes the new GallivantingSA App always up-to-date and as as fast as the internet connection allows.

GallivantingSA founders, Alan and Sandy Morton, seasoned campers with extensive experience of overland travel and camping, conceived the App in a bid to streamline the overall camping experience. The App is an extension of the website, which has seen rapid growth since its launch on the 4th of July 2022.

Alan and Sandy Morton shared, “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.”

Developed by beepd, known for SMART Communication Solutions, the GallivantingSA App offers an optimised and seamless experience on all platforms – iOS, Android, and Huawei.

The App is complemented by a YouTube channel offering honest campsite reviews on “GallivantingSA.”

“Camping 101 with GallivantingSA,” is a smaller channel which addresses issues for those new to camping.
