[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This travel company with tailor-made tours in Africa brings the mighty continent to your home with its \u2018Bringing Africa Home\u2019 program. As the wild calls, take your fill of the safari with andBeyond’s WildWatch. Made in collaboration with wildlife broadcasting experts atWildEarth, viewers get free access to live streaming three-hour-long drives within the private game reserves of Ngala and Djuma -an unscripted and unpredictable real-time programme. With three to four live feeds from the control room, the camera pans into a seamless live game drive, giving the viewers the best vistas. These live safaris are available for viewing twice a day on YouTube; first, the sunrise-dependent trip from 6 am to 9 am Central Africa Time (CAT), and the sunset-dependent trip from 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm CAT. www.andbeyond.com<\/a><\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]During WildWatch streams, viewers can send questions and interact with the guides via Twitter using the hashtag #wildearth, and on YouTube by accessing the chatbox. Kids have their own WildChild channels, where safari trips are scheduled in the first 45 minutes of the afternoon tour.<\/p>\n

Apart from these visual trips, andBeyond\u2019s curated series also features the region\u2019s multi-sensory experiences. For example, African comfort food becomes the star of Taste Africa, where downloadable recipes bring African Antipasto and Masai Mara dips to one’s table. The sound of Africa sings through a glorious playlist of grassroots artists, from Paul Simon\u2019s Graceland to Disney\u2019s well-loved Lion King. Readers can immerse themselves through a curated library of recommended reads that feature an African setting, from the \u2018Cry of the Kalahari\u2019 to Trevor Noah’s \u2018Born a Crime\u2019. Virtual experiences like these keep the continent at the top of one’s bucket list, reminding one of the many reasons why Africa remains to be one of the most intense realms in the world<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

When travelling across the globe restarts, yearning to discover the Earth\u2019s untouched marvels is essential. There will always be that curiosity, the desire to experience what\u2019s happening on the other side of the world. In the middle of the pandemic, our restriction versus the freedom in the wild become striking contrasts. Surprisingly, it is nature\u2019s profound saying that prevails – \u2018life goes on\u2019 whether one is indoors, or outdoors. \u25fc[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Subscribe to the latest edition now by clicking here.<\/em><\/a><\/span>
