Have you ever wished to visit the
Serengeti ? Until you can do so you can get very close to the experience visiting
Virtual Africa in SL.
This is a beautiful region, made of 4 (soon to be 5) sims where the African ecosystem, culture and traditions are on display, realized with great passion and care.
I found the place jumping randomly from blogs to tweets and, at last, I saw a LM in a tweet, with an invitation to visit the place. I followed the LM and I found myself in this beautiful natural paradise. I was greeted almost immediately by
Alanagh Recreant, one of the souls behind the project and a
Capetown resident in RL.
Alanagh took me around on a balloon tour where I got a great felling of the place. You just need to immerse yourself a bit on the experience and you really believe to be flying over the savana.
There are wild animals areas, beautiful landscapes, camping areas, themed platforms in the sky, rivers to navigate, cultural centers and a market where one can find African outfits.
It was an overall great experience. More tours are available with stations to follow all over the place and I definitely plan to go back there for more exploration.
Oh .. I was forgetting: when you are there set your environment to
sunset. The warm colors of the sunset light are perfect to enhance an already gorgeous experience.
Have fun ... and remember to pet a lion :)
