A peek inside

Six apps. One safari.

Each subject is its own app in its own colour, so your child always knows where they are. Same friendly safari, six front doors.

A different kind of clever for every subject

Each app teaches with its own game, chosen because it actually builds the skill, not just because it looks cute. Here is what a real round looks like.

A Reading round: tap the sentence that matches the picture

Reading

Hear it, match it, read it

Your child matches words and whole sentences to a picture, and in read-aloud rounds reads the word out loud to a parrot that actually listens.

Why it works: phonics first and fully decodable, so kids learn to read words, not memorise pictures.

A Writing round: tracing the letter o over a faint guide with a finger

Writing

Trace it into memory

A dot shows where to start, then your child traces the letter with a finger. The guide slowly fades until they can form it from memory.

Why it works: correct strokes build the pencil control and muscle memory neat handwriting is made of.

A Math round: count the groups of fish and tap the number

Math

Count, bond, and level up

Count real things, break numbers into their parts, and solve sums that quietly get harder as your child improves, all the way to grade 7.

Why it works: it builds true number sense, not memorised tricks, and adapts round by round so it is never too easy or too scary.

A Chess round: tap every square the queen can move to

Chess

Move it, then mate it

Meet each piece in its own little game, learn exactly where it can go, then hunt for the checkmate in one.

Why it works: spotting patterns and thinking a move ahead is real strategy, taught one small idea at a time. Every puzzle is machine-checked before it ships.

A World round: which place is cold? Tap the matching picture

World

Map it, flag it, place it

Hear a question and tap the right flag, place or moment in history, then hear a friendly fact after every answer, right or wrong.

Why it works: a picture-first tour of geography and history that gives kids a real mental map of the world.

A Science round: find the dolphin among four animals

Science

Name what's alive

Find the animal, hear its call, and learn where it lives, then meet the plants, seasons and first science all around them.

Why it works: observing and naming nature is a scientist's very first skill, and it plugs straight into the animals kids love to collect.

Every subject shares one login and one reserve. Play a real round below ↓

The gentle end-of-day screen: the animals are sleeping, well done today, see you tomorrow

Screen time, handled

The end of "five more minutes"

You set the daily limit. Thirty minutes, forty-five, whatever fits your family. When the time is up, Learning Safari does not snatch the screen away mid-game. It lets your child finish the round they are in, then gently winds the play down, tucks the animals in, and closes for the day. No cliffhanger, no cut-off meltdown, and no negotiating with you, because the app already said goodnight.

  1. 1You set the limit. A quiet setting in the free Family app, just once.
  2. 2They finish the round. A soft "one more round today" heads-up, then no interruption mid-game.
  3. 3The reserve goes to sleep. Play winds down to a calm goodnight screen and waits until tomorrow.

Because the fight was never about learning. It was about stopping.

Everywhere your child plays

One login. One reserve. Everywhere.

Sign in once and everything travels with your child. A star earned in Maths hatches an egg in the very same reserve as a star from Reading. Streaks count across every app. Start a round on the phone in the car, pick it up on the tablet at home. One family, one login, one growing world of animals, whichever app or device they reach for.

It is opt-in and private: nothing leaves the device until you create a family code, and progress can only ever move forward, never be lost.

Quietly clever underneath

The safari looks simple on purpose. Under it, an adaptive engine tunes every round to your child, a reward loop they genuinely love keeps them coming back, and the free Family app puts you in control of all of it.

Adaptive & spaced

A spaced-repetition engine retires what is mastered and resurfaces what is tricky, per child and per language.

A reward loop they love

Stars become eggs, eggs hatch reserve animals, and a daily adventure goal keeps the streak alive across all apps.

The free Family app

See progress across every app, spot struggles, set daily limits and manage your subscription in one place.

For school-minded parents

Anchored to the Cambridge early-years path

A short, playful placement shows where each child stands on the Cambridge early years through Primary Stage 6 framework, and the free Family app maps CambriLearn weeks to matching practice games. Already doing CambriLearn? This is your at-home practice layer.

What early families say

Voices from our first families. These are early, illustrative quotes while public reviews roll in, shown with our own reserve animals instead of stock-photo strangers.

I bought it expecting another shiny app we would delete in a week. Six weeks later my son asks for safari time before cartoons.

The timer is what sold me. She finishes her round, the animals go to sleep, and there is no fight. I got my evenings back.

We are on the road eleven months a year. One login and the kids pick up on any device, in any timezone. It is the one app that just travels with us.

We are raising our boys in three languages and most apps make you pick one. Here they flip between English and Russian mid-round. Finally something built for a family like ours.

What educators say

Early feedback from teachers and tutors trying Learning Safari with their pupils. Illustrative quotes while we gather named, verifiable reviews.

The phonics is properly structured, not just phonics-flavoured. I have started pointing my reception parents to it for practice at home.
Ms. OkaforReception teacher, Birmingham
What I like is that it adapts. My tutees get harder questions the moment they are ready, so nobody is bored and nobody is left behind.
Danielprimary maths tutor, Dublin
We map it to our weekly plan and it does the drilling for us. The children think it is a game; I know it is aligned to the framework.

Our story

Built by a dad, for his own daughters

Learning Safari started as a homemade game for our two girls. We are a family that lives across different places through the year, so school does not always look the same for us, but curiosity travels everywhere we do. We believe life and education should be as exciting as a safari: always discovering something new. Every app here is something our daughters actually play, and every egg and reserve animal was argued over at our own kitchen table.

That is also why the safety promises are personal rather than marketing: no ads, no data games, nothing we would not put in front of our own kids. And I built the gentle daily timer because I was tired of being the bad guy at bedtime. Now the app is.

Questions parents ask

What is Learning Safari?

A family of six safari-themed learning apps for kids aged 2 and up: Reading, Writing, Math, Chess, World and Science, plus a free Family app for parents. Every star your child earns in any app feeds one shared reserve, so the whole safari grows together.

What ages is it for?

The heart of it is ages 2 and up, from first letters and counting to early reading and sums, and the adaptive engine keeps growing with your child, all the way to grade 7 maths and grade 6 reading.

Can I limit how long they play?

Yes, and it is one of our favourite features. Set a daily limit in the free Family app (30, 45 or 60 minutes). When the time is up, the app lets your child finish the round they are in, then winds play down to a gentle goodnight screen and waits until the next day, so the app calls time, not you.

What is free?

The Family app is free forever, and the first units of every paid app are free forever too, no card needed. Paid plans add the rest and always start with a 14-day free trial.

What does the Family bundle include?

All six apps for up to 4 child profiles, per family, with every app in three languages, one shared reserve, and everything managed from the free Family app. It costs $29.99/month or $299.99/year (2 months free).

Which languages does it support?

English, German and Russian, in every app. In Reading and Writing the language is the curriculum itself, with separate progress per language; in the other apps it simply sets the app's voice and labels.

Does it work offline and is it ad-free?

Yes. Every app works fully offline, and there are no ads and no third-party advertising trackers in any kid app.

I already play Learning Safari. What changes?

Nothing today: your app keeps working and all progress is safe. As the new apps roll out, existing families will get a friendly upgrade path, announced right in the app before anything changes.

Give them a screen you can feel good about

Start with the free Family app, add a subject when you are ready, and let the safari wind itself down each night.
