Virtual Africa

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.
You are also welcome to subscribe to our site to get automatic updates when we post by typing your email address in the space provided to the right.

Let’s explore South Africa’s World Heritage Sites!
