Google South Africa has launched the Mzansi Experience – Discover South Africa on Google Maps – a Google Street View collection that will provide local and international tourists with the opportunity to go on virtual tours of some of South Africa’s top natural attractions.
Google South Africa has created 360-degree imagery of the country’s iconic locations, which enables visitors to go on a virtual tour and see the sights for themselves on their phones, tablets or computers.
Google SA Communications And Public Affairs Head, Mich Atagana, said: “We are launching this imagery on Google Maps as part of a campaign to showcase the beauty of South Africa as a tourist destination for local and international travellers. South Africa is home to some of the top tourist destinations in the world, home to eight Unesco World Heritage Sites and home to the Kruger National Park – one of Africa’s largest game reserves. This imagery seeks to showcase the beauty of the country to those who are interested in virtually travelling here, and will hopefully to inspire them to visit in person.”
The Discover South Africa on Google Maps collection includes Table Mountain National Park; Cape of Good Hope; Kruger National Park; West Coast National Park; Lion's Head; Signal Hill; Golden Mile; Sunset Beach; Clifton Beach; Hout Bay; Llandudno Beach; Camps Bay Beach; and Boulder's Beach.
