Safari company andBeyond lets you explore Africa’s most beautiful landscapes and wildest animals without even having to leave your self-isolation bolthole.
COVID-19 lockdown got you staring out the window thinking of all the travel you’re missing out on? We like to think that the end of the pandemic isn’t too far away, but if you need a dose of the exotic to get you through the tough times, acclaimed safari company andBeyond has created virtual game drives that will broadcast the wilds of Africa to a streaming device near you.

The luxury safari company has teamed up with broadcasting experts WildEarth to stream twice daily personalised game drives that erstwhile travelers can view from the comfort of their home.
Viewers will be able to join up to two live safaris a day, each of which will last approximately three hours. These will be streamed in real-time from two renowned South African game reserves, andBeyond Ngala Private Game Reserve (which shares unfenced borders with the famed Kruger National Park) and Djuma Private Game Reserve (part of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve).
Authentic and non-scripted, the game drives will follow the sights and sounds of the African wilderness as they unfold. Hosted by expert andBeyond and WildEarth field guides, the drives will be streamed over a variety of social media platforms each day this month.
Working via a director in a control room, the camera will move between three or four live feeds to bring viewers the best wildlife action as it unfolds, creating a seamless multi-feed virtual game drive. Viewers will be able to interact with their safari hosts and have their questions answered in real-time, just as if they were actually on the game drive vehicle.
