Description
The Serengeti, spanning 30,000 square kilometers across Tanzania and Kenya, is a biodiversity hotspot and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its annual wildebeest migration, showcasing over two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles, is a global wildlife spectacle. With diverse landscapes, from savannas to rocky outcrops, it offers thrilling safari adventures.
Indigenous tribes like the Maasai, practicing nomadic pastoralism, contribute to its cultural richness. To address Sustainable Development Goal 8.9 of Sustainable Tourism, digital interpretation tools like VR tours and interactive exhibits are vital. They educate visitors on conservation, promote responsible travel, and showcase local culture and wildlife.
Digital platforms also highlight indigenous traditions and encourage support for local artisans and businesses. By embracing sustainable tourism practices, the Serengeti preserves its natural beauty and cultural heritage while creating employment opportunities. Through digital interpretation, it fosters a deeper understanding of the importance of conservation and responsible travel, ensuring the sustainable development of this iconic natural site.
