A team of nature-loving South Africans in partnership with Google Street View have released a large collection of 360-degree imagery of the country’s wildest areas.

The announcement of 170 new trails in South Africa’s national parks and reserves follows on from The Mzansi Experience launched in March 2016, which showcased prominent tourist attractions such as Kruger National Park, Table Mountain, and Cape Point, amongst others.

The new trails, launched on Friday, extend the existing Street View imagery of South Africa’s wilderness areas to include all 19 national parks, 17 previously ‘un-trekked’ nature reserves, and many sites of natural, cultural, and historical significance in all nine provinces of South Africa.

More than 200 South African volunteers from across the country were involved in the 12-month project, mapping out the parts of South Africa that they call home.

Many were SANParks, CapeNature, and KZN Ezemvelo Wildlife rangers and guides. Others were avid hikers, nature-lovers. and tech enthusiasts.
