BEYOND THE VISUAL

The Bush Has a Soundtrack

Go beyond the visual and immerse yourself in the auditory landscape of the bush. Using specialised directional microphones and headphones, Sound Safaris allow you to hear the amplified whispers of nature — distant lion roars, intricate nocturnal calls, the conversation of weaver birds twenty metres up the marula tree.

Listening to the Bush
