Geo-Art is the placement of geocaches so that it forms some kind of symbol or picture.  In the urban environment it usually makes use of puzzle caches so that the geocache container does not have to be hidden where the initial coordinates are listed, allowing the owners to fit the pattern into the area, and hide the containers nearby.

The first Geo-Art in South Africa was placed in August 2012 and called 'Our heart is in PE' series, consisting of traditional caches in the flower reserve just outside Port Elizabeth, with the 'Question Mark' following a year later in Pretoria over the Waterkloof Air Force base. A month later in Oct 2013 the 20 caches spelling out the letters 'PE' were added to the South African landscape. Before the year was over the town of Hermanus got its signature added with a whale consisting of 20 caches. It took almost another year before the next item was added, again in PE, with the Love PE series. The geocachers of Pretoria joined forces and about 15 teams brought 86 geocaches to life spelling out the word 'PRETORIA' in March 2014.  KwaZulu-Natal then published their first Geo-Art with the ABC Trail just south east of Pietermaritzburg in February 2015 with the Hill Lighthouse appearing in Port Elizabeth also at that time.  During 2015, the Western Cape also added their Arrow van Parow Geo-Art in February, the Sunningdale Mystery Series in November and the Puzzler's Revenge Geo-Art in December.   January 2016 saw the Orchestra Geo-Art appear over Durban harbour. 2017 welcomed a dodo egg in East London, an anchor in Gordon's Bay and Icons Geoart in PE. 2018 saw plenty of activity: the Horse Geoart, the Kogel Bay Bullet, GEO-EYE, Emoji, Maitland Coast NR, Tswaing 10 Years, Helderberg Grapes, Black Eagle and the Jozi Jol J Geoart popped up on the map.
