Virtual Tour Guide

Welcome to The Virtual Tour Guide

This site along with the Android, Windows, iOS, OSX and Linux App, will enhance your bush experience. We are updating content for all the South African National Parks (SANParks), major game reserves (Pilanesberg National Park), as well as many of the Nature Reserves and botanical gardens situated around Southern Africa.

The App is updated dynamically which means as information is updated to the main central server, you get the latest information to your device. We have opened public testing for Android devices and will be opening testing for Windows PC's (WIN32 / WIN64).

Get in touch with us if you would like to get an early look at this exciting new Application.

The Virtual Tour Guide Application is now available on the Andriod Play Store

A Win32 and Win64 Version will be available from this website from the end of July 2021.
