Swaziland next African country to come to Street View

Posted on 09:26 by Unknown
Ever wanted to visit the vast rolling green hills of Swaziland? Google’s Street View will now give you virtual access to this majestic Southern African kingdom. Swaziland joins South Africa, Botswana and Lesotho as the fourth African country to be featured on Street View.

Explore the terrains of the Mlawula, Malolotja and Simunye Nature Reserves or take a step on to the Low Level Bridge.

Visit one of Swaziland’s pioneer conservation locations, the Mlilwane Game Sanctuary, which can be found in the Ezulwini Valley - also known as the ‘Valley of Heavens’. Users can also embark on an exhilarating adventure amongst the deep crevices of one of the world’s oldest mines, the Ngwenya mine, situated near the north-western border of Swaziland.

Why not immerse yourself in 1850 Swaziland by discovering the hidden treasures that are held within the Mantenga Cultural Village? The village represents an authentic living museum of artefacts and tradition during this time period.

Google aims to make Street View more and more comprehensive and useful by adding new and unusual locations - with everything from the top of the world’s tallest building in Dubai down to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, there is nothing that is out of reach.

Swaziland, prochain pays africain à entrer dans Street View

Avez-vous déjà eu envie de visiter les vastes collines verdoyantes du Swaziland ? Google Street View vous permet désormais d'accéder virtuellement à ce majestueux royaume d'Afrique australe. Le Swaziland rejoint l'Afrique du Sud, le Botswana et le Lesotho en quatrième place des pays d'Afrique représentés dans Street View.

Explorez les réserves naturelles de Mlawula, Malolotja et de Simunye ou allez voir le célèbre Low Level Bridge.

Vous pourrez aussi visiter l'un premiers sites de préservation du Swaziland, le sanctuaire animalier de Mlilwane, qui se trouve dans la vallée Ezulwini, aussi appelée la "Vallée du paradis". Et pourquoi pas, vivre l'aventure palpitante de survoler les profondes crevasses de l'une des plus anciennes mines du monde, la mine de Ngwenya, située à la frontière nord-ouest du pays.

Si cela vous tente, plongez dans le Swaziland des années 1850 en partant à la découverte des trésors cachés que recèle le Mantenga Cultural Village ! Ce village est un authentique musée vivant des objets et traditions en usage à cette époque.

Google a pour ambition de rendre Street View de plus en plus complet et utile en l'enrichissant de lieux nouveaux ou insolites - depuis la vue au sommet du plus haut bâtiment du mondeà Dubaï jusqu'à la Grande barrière de corail d'Australie, plus rien ne sera hors de portée.
