Four Seasons Safari Lodge, Serengeti Launches 'Into The Heart Of Africa'

The interactive site, the first to launch within the Four Seasons portfolio, allows guests to explore the lodge, game drivers and natural world of the Serengeti National Park via captivating videos and engaging interactive user experiences.

Visitors to the site are guided through three different interactive components:

Discover the Serengeti: Join Oli Dreike, Discovery Centre Manager, on an immersive video adventure through the Lodge's Discovery Centre, the first lodge-based conservation research center and museum in the Serengeti. Dreike guides guests through the Centre, as well as on bush walks and game drives, allowing users to discover the wilderness, wildlife, people and culture native to this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Join the Safari: There's no better way to see the Serengeti than from high above! Venture on a hot air balloon safari through the 5,700 square miles of the Serengeti National Park and bear witness to the primordial, animalistic drama that unfolds below.

Explore the Lodge: Get an up-close and personal virtual tour of the land of The Lion King with dynamic short take videos and atmospheric footage of the Lodge. Guest experiences include sundowners at the infinity pool, private romantic dinners in the bush, the Lodge's famed Boma Grill, purpose-built Spa, and the infamous infinity pool with elephants gathering at the watering hole below.
