New Google Map feature lets you take on a virtual safari

The Mzansi experience is a new Google Maps feature that will let anyone with an Internet connection take a virtual tour of South Africa

Announced on Tuesday, the new virtual trip uses Street View for 360-degree exploration of everything from Kruger National Park including elephants, lions and leopards, to the summit of Table Mountain.

The Mzansi experience may not cover every square centimetre of South Africa but Google hopes it will be sufficient to "Inspire a deeper appreciation for the country, its wildlife and show the beauty of the African continent."
