Hotels in Africa offer online safaris
We can't travel right now, but dreaming is still allowed - and there are no restrictions for the virtual world tour.
Experience a safari through the African savannah, lions, leopards and elephants in the wild - for many this is a lifelong dream. Whoever wanted to fulfill it this year will probably have to write off the trip.
This also affects safari tourism and the protection of animals. Because many protected areas are financed by tourism - for example, 70 percent of the income from the Kenyan game reserve Ol Pejeta comes from visitors.

Online safaris to take care of the animals
In order to at least keep the protection of animals in the consciousness of humans, reservations have now started to organize safaris online and via live stream. You can go on a sofa safari regularly: The Ol Pejeta reserve announces them on Instagram and broadcasts them there live.
The hotel group andBeyond does a similar thing: on YouTube, for example, there are live streams lasting several hours twice a day, in which guides go on safari with the audience and answer questions. Nicole Robinson, Marketing Manager at andBeyond: "We have the opportunity here to put the voice of nature in the foreground so that - when normal life starts again - the protection of these wild areas will be a priority."
