We recently created a virtual tour of the KFM studio’s in Cape Town and it has been added to their website: www.kfm.co.za .

Ryan O’Connor (the morning show DJ) was our tour guide and, as you’ll see from the embedded video clips in the virtual tour, he is just as comfortable in front of the camera as behind the microphone.

From a technical perspective this tour is quite cool:

• it’s a full sphere – so you can check out the roof and the floor
• it has more than one embedded video in some of the scenes
• we’ve been able to clone Ryan (Cape Town will never be the same again) and you’ll find 4 of him on the studio shot

So if you’ve ever wondered what the inside of a radio station looked like – go wild!!

I’m a bit behind on my World Heritage Site postings, but I’ve been running around with Americans (not the notorious Cape Town gang) and created some quality content to help them show how beautiful this part of South Africa actually is.

So, while you anxiously await our next amazing post on one of South Africa’s World Heritage Sites, here’s some 360º eye candy for your enjoyment.

This is a Full Screen Virtual Tour of the Cape Peninsula which includes shots of Cape Point, Camps Bay, Chapman’s Peak and some very cute penguins at Boulders Beach.

What do you think:

• Is it the most beautiful place in the world?

• Can you tink of any place more beautiful? (maybe we can go and shoot it)

There are a thousand reasons why I am proud and privileged to be a South African – and recently I found 8 more to add to the list.

South Africa has 8 World Heritage sites, a collection of places as fascinating and intriguing as they are beautiful – and Virtual Africa has 360º images of all of them.

In the next few weeks, we will invite you to explore the:

1. Cape Floral Kingdom
2. Cradle of Humankind
3. Greater St.Lucia Wetlands Park (iSimangaliso)
4. Mapungubwe Cultural Landscape
5. Drakensberg Park (uKhahlamba)
6. Richtersveld National Park
7. Robben Island
8. Vredefort Dome

You will get a chance to:

• explore these places through the use of Google Maps and Google Earth,
• get a feel for them by interacting with our 360º images,
• learn why they have been named World Heritage Sites
• and realize why they should be on your list of places to visit before you die.

We’ll keep this post up here to help with the navigation and add a post for each of the sites below.
