MUMBAI:
National Geographic Channel (NGC) will take viewers on an
African Safari later this month. The action takes place at
Kruger National Park in South Africa.
The
Safari special will offer viewers four hours of one-on-one
encounters with Africa's most majestic creatures. The show
lasts for seven days starting 9 November, from 8:30 am to
10:30 am and from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm.
Broadcasting
live from Nwanetsi Concession at Singita located inside Kruger
National Park, Caught on Safari: Live! will capture
a landscape where large prides of lions thrive along with
other species including buffalo, leopard, elephant, white
and black rhinos. Viewers will hear directly from the game
rangers and wildlife trackers watching over Singita along
with veterinarians, learning about Africa's conservation issues
as well as specific initiatives taking place in Kruger National
Park.
NGC
India senior VP, content and communication Rajesh Sheshadri
says, "Caught on Safari: Live! would be an unforgettable
and rewarding television experience as it would enable viewers
to be a part of wild life encounters in real time. Viewers
from anywhere in the world can observe and experience a great
wealth of information shared by the game guide coupled with
the anticipation of what a safari can offer."
To
wire the wild for an up-close look at life in this animal
kingdom, cameras will be set up at watering holes around the
park and other locations. Mobile cameras on trucks will also
accompany the guides as they track various animals.
Every technique used will be designed to non-invasively capture
animals at home in their natural element. As an ultimate safari
guide, the weeklong live event will present an incredible
and unpredictable look at animal behaviour, inspiring resiliency
and wildlife survival that can only be captured live.
The
live event will be telecast worldwide in 166 countries on
National Geographic Channel as well as online at www.natgeotv.co.in
