About

A campsite-first app, made by people who actually go.

KampMal exists because every overlanding app we tried felt like it was designed in a boardroom in another country. Tile packs that never downloaded. Reviews three years old.

So we built one for here. For the Karoo dust, the Cederberg passes, the Kruger gravel, the dual-battery panic at 2 a.m. when stage 6 hits. It's a tool first, a community second, and we keep the marketing tab small.

Who's building this

KampMal is built by Effekt Studios, a small studio in Tzaneen, Limpopo. We make software for people doing real things outside — fishing, climbing, racing, farming, camping. Local context first, screen polish second.

If you want to help build, partner with us, or just yell at us about a bug, you can reach us at hello@kampmal.co.za.
