&Beyond and WildEarth have come together to stream personalised game drives twice a day where audiences 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. The game drives will be streamed in real-time from two South African game reserves, &Beyond Ngala Private Game Reserve and Djuma Private Game Reserve.
Hosted by expert &Beyond and WildEarth field guides, the drives will be streamed over a variety of social media platforms each day during April. 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
Working via a director in a control room, the camera will move between three and four live feeds to bring viewers the best wildlife action as it unfolds, creating a seamless multi-feed virtual game drive.
The first 45 minutes of each afternoon drive will be dedicated to children where they can pose questions to guides during this time. Parents can email kidsquestions@wildearth.tv for age appropriate and personalized responses.
In addition to the broadcasts with WildEarth, &Beyond will also be hosting Instagram Live sessions led by guides from &Beyond Phinda Private Game Reserve, as well as &Beyond Kirkman’s Kamp.
The game drives will also be screened via &Beyond’s FaceBook page and YouTube channel.
