This commercial website specializes in travel to Africa and includes a terrific, free virtual safari of East Africa and southern Africa using photos and interactive 360° panoramas of wildlife and landscapes.
When you get to the website you’ll see a picture of a lion. Click on the words, “To The Gallery” located below the lion. A new page opens with a menu of the photo gallery that you will use to take this virtual safari that includes:
- Wildlife – See pictures and read descriptions of African mammals, reptiles, and birds including:
- Elephant
- Rhinoceros
- Cheetah
- Leopard
- Lion
- Mongoose
- Hippopotamus
- Warthog
- Nile Crocodile
- Ostrich
- and many more!
- Landscapes – Explore national parks in Botswana, Tanzania, and Kenya.
If you click on any item on the menu a new page opens to photographs with descriptions in GERMAN. If you don’t read German – don’t worry. You can easily translate each page into English with a Google translation service located in very small print at the bottom of each page. Just click on the words “Translate this page into English” and the Google application works its magic so that you get the full benefit of the picture and the descriptive text.
If you enjoy the virtual field trip, you can also virtually explore the lodges and camps that are available to those who go on a real safari using the travel services of Bwana Mitch.
