Join millions online as The Bearded Heron takes you for a Kruger game drive Neil Heron (The Bearded Heron), a specialist field guide operating in the Kruger National Park, launched a world first on Monday by bringing the Kruger Park to millions of people. For a sneak preview check out Neil’s highlights of his most recent game drives, bush interpretation and nature guiding click on the screen above. “My main motivation for conducting game drives on video, and ultimately live game drive feeds, is very simple. I wanted to find a way to bring the Kruger to millions of people without any additional impact on the environment,” he says. “The impact that people have on wildlife in Africa has become a serious issue, and although good and responsible eco-tourism efforts contribute to minimizing negative impact, people still emit green house gases (in the form of aeroplane and vehicle carbons) and their impact on the refuse and other infra-structures required to manage people transported plastics, batteries and often unnecessary waste products.” Neil will broadcast to schools and children who cannot get to the Kruger and also get access to events that happen on the spur of the moment for scientific research. He also aims to benefit local school children living in the Kruger. Currently there is one school in the Kruger, which means that passionate and dedicated conservationists and staff of the Kruger are faced with two choices – a dedicated life in Kruger, or leaving in order to comfortably send their children to school – schools that are far away. “I am also working with technology partners to bring daily game drives streamed live from my vehicle in real time. They will ultimately be interactive with watchers able to send in their questions and have them answered later on the same game drive or on the next game drive,” says Neil. We've hatched a plan! read more More Videos Safari Day 01 Safari Day 02 Safari Day 03 Safari Day 04 Safari Day 05 Safari Day 06 Safari Day 07 At a lion kill Hyena Kill Lion and rhino action with my son Mating frogs A walk on the wildside Impala behaviour |
