Every fact carries a stamp.

A fee from last season isn't a fee. Each fact in Patorana says who vouched for it and when, so you know what to trust and what to confirm at the gate.

Confirm before paying · ageing fact Likely outdated · don't rely on it Stamps and dates on this page are examples.

Try it

Turn the signal off. Nothing disappears.

A destination pack holds the places, rates, notices and offline map. Patorana reads it from your phone, so the guide in the park is the same guide you planned with at home.

A plan with receipts.

Build a day in the park and see what it costs in shillings. Every line keeps its source and date beside it, so nothing surprises you at the gate.
