  • More about Tracks4africa...
    Behind this web site there is a large community of eco-users from all over the world who share in four common things:

  • a passion for Africa and its preservation, its awesome natural beauty and the diversity of its peoples.
  • the need for a super accurate and reliable GPS navigation system to take you to the many interesting and fascinating destinations in Africa.
  • the need for INFORMATION. To learn new facts about old things. To change the way we interact with environment and INFORMATION needed not to expose oneself, travel companions, assets and environment to unnecessary risks.
  • the need to know where tourist dollars are spend, it *MUST* make a difference at ground zero, to the local peoples and to environment.

    Using GPS devices, the Tracks4Africa (T4A) community when touring Africa do meticulous record keeping of their travels. From this huge repository of high quality GPS data we have created a super accurate GPS map called the T4A Map. But the T4A Map is more than that, it is the collective navigational experience of the T4A community over the past 7 years. It shows Africa the way it is and how it is constantly changing. Click here for more informaton about Tracks4Africa’s maps.

    Professed by the late Jan Joubert, we believe that conservation of environmental resources depends on access to INFORMATION and for the traveller to be INFORMED. This is the 4th dimension of eco-travel and it is the focus of Tracks4Africa.

    We invite everyone with a GPS to join this pan African mapping initiative aimed at creating a popular African GIS culture where everyone can give a contribution towards the re-mapping of Africa; to contribute by email your GPS track logs, waypoints, photos and INFORMATION which will ensure eco-tourism that is safe and environmentally correct.

    Please note that this initiative is not aimed at mapping major urban centres (often for cities very good quality data already exists) but rather to focus on rural and remote Africa. Tracks4Africa also serves to impact positively on the small business initiatives (craft markets and community rest camps) of people in rural and remote parts of Africa.
