metal and let's ride the me read in 60 minutes on d w. tina saxophone operator, her master's thesis on the potato. rarely to read the not the turn on. well, it gets more ridiculous from there. he does list german most re hello . welcome to your favorite, show the 77 percent coming to straight from them. the and my name is i to illegal below she. i promise you we have issue pockets. food. when loads of fun he done went to is that out visit for them. showcase is the beauty of our beloved continent. what bring you some of africa?

why no stories? because what's and here is what's coming up. we meet uganda who a boosting the local tourism industry in can yeah, up in smiles. takes us on a mesmerizing balloon to over my sy, mata and cut. i've seen that with the, i mean i showed with us through the narrow strip of stone town. so we, i live in stone, one of zombie as tourist me, hotspots every, what i'm doing is southern tourists visit this place to see the mighty them be the river. well, it is also a place may come to see them was the 24th, which is known as the victoria falls. as you can see, we're actually in the dry season. so the water is not as intense as compared to the rainy season. however, if you still want to see the smoke that thunder, which is what was the tune, you mean, then you will have to cross over. it is been bob way inside. we did it earlier, but there's many things to see here, a side, the side of the false come,

let me show you around. this is a victoria fall as bridge crossing over there then be the river, which forms the border between zambia and zimbabwe. the bridge, however, links the 2 countries. now, this is not the only thing the tories here. oh, tories that are coming here find inviting. one of the most daring things to do on this bridge is to jump over this stretch, which is a 111 meters is clear. yes, down to 0. now the question is, will i be able to do this or not? let's find out if i'm burying enough. i'm shaking already to. that's my number to that. a well, i would say my worth. yeah. fight. and was,

and that's what i'm about to overcome the experience. i hope so. 0321. i would have never imagined lego. and going oh cool. i feel so proud of my so don, she's crazy. thank you, lou. if you're scared of heights, you're scared of water. do it. you will not regret it. i have no

well, we're still here on the victoria was bridge in livingstone, as you can see behind me, is rather by jumping takes place if i already seen that. so i am now going to talk to mr. hill. i actually, paul, who is the chairperson of the livingstone tourism association. hillary 1st, have you ever done his mind to jumping before? yes and twice i did filled space with every one of those times. oh my goodness. i thought it wouldn't begin to imagine again. what, yeah, or even going to doing so much in livingston 1st tell us what this place means. design is tourism industry. it is a to grab, you know? yeah, and rightfully so, because we go the victoria falls, which obviously one of the was but you'd go in there is a lot of natural sites are just around the corner itself of why he was significantly to the cultural aspect of it very much alive with you how they,

how does within village live just around the livingston? so we have that mix of life and obviously what the typical african life you'd like . and how much is this contribute into design, be an economy prior covey that at least on record 7.2 percent of the duty of the country. and we tried to push that number up because obviously of the potential that we have was a country quite interesting. but as you can see, we actually saw that the, the fall is not really coming out to what is lead to a pause when at this moment we know way the dry season. yeah. but would you say the place has also been affected by climate change and anyway, mostly the, the low. what does that get to obviously the not sure putting that we do have, but you can't completely rule out the the if it's a negative effect of why you know, the climate change that we've been experiencing globally bottom of the reason why we need to pay particular attention to that but fairly the last 2 years it was been

quite, quite good on record and a few we not affected as much yet, but yes, we need to look up. how accessible would you say your tourism, especially to young zambia? very well, and that's the market that we're trying to explore. both we have in collaborative efforts as a private sector as well as you know, the government was we want to make sure that the country gets to experience more. so these 2 are offering, take advantage of what we have, you know, as the country sometimes we be more like we are blamed for did we can't really see what we have. and we just want everybody to appreciate the value of their tourism offering that we do have. all right, we did put the same question to young zombie ends into soccer. and here's what they had to say that the nation should i looking at the metro

by then. and the thought there was life in livingstone. we have victor, a voice which is quite a big fall. we are trying to r e. we have revised legs. i think it's the best place to go to if you want to go, i said you really have to make your budget because that's, that place is really expensive because right now they have please on the fuel prices. so the amount like the bus fare you fights some that afford quite a right, but then there are others like me who don't really have that much of money to spend to travel, to go and visit places they target to football from venetian those nor did you find that the locals do stay in. yeah. buy most of them just with the as wicked as and everything. and the majority of them not allowed to go into the place. it was that juries attraction. i think they should law the prices,

the locals. i think the best that they can do is maybe like if they will, they can like set to do my cation like, besides for the zombie ends and decide for the international in terms of maybe lord gina, and also prices. and instead of putting them the same, i think they can just more like make it free for students. because we usually learn about these things, maybe in class, but then we don't get the chance to visit the places in facing you do money transfer course. government needs to do something to see most of the things that we, we lend him in school. i feel like if we had to do the actual visitation, i think it will make more sense than now. let me get in the classroom. leafing late from the books and all that. well, have you heard what the young vampire impacted say? would you say that this?

the tourism is affordable. ambien, maybe to purchase to that. mostly there was this perception that there were, there wasn't any directions of the local, the local pricing on most of the activities. but that was more, went away on this campaign. but we do agree also with the sentiments, because generally we have been perceived to be slightly higher or more expensive by destination. now we've been working round the clock to see on how we can wake around pricing. and we've been very government at many levels. and we are hoping we will be winning in that regard. but yes, there is a load of disparate attempts to make sure that it's really affordable. and just when you come to reason, especially in livingston, these categories that you might want to take advantage of whereby even with the lowest possible budget, you to be able to experience some of the things leading them. you know how to you

don't offer ok. so you think you have plans in place to make it to make it more affordable? i was just able to the, to the yes, yes. using with around it. if there is anything that africans can learn from livingstone, mode of tourism, what was your childhood efficiently? just how you are able to generate more employment opportunities for young people towards the for us after that comes natural. because when you talk about torrie, this is more like, you know, more of a hosting. so i think it's a natural advantage that we do have, you know, the one for the people themselves that can really be experienced from the typical set up of our livingstone. and i feel this is the basis on which we begin to be because at the end of the day, it's about the stories that we sharing. you know that the experiences interactions that we have and everything else viewed around that. so it's really the personality that we do, you know, to, to reason that i think will be the major. you mentioned cover briefly in what

specific ways has it affected your tourism? has it in any way affected it? i think you maybe we'll see what i did fix our industry. thankfully the this, this is our 5th hope to resume almost came to it was more like on needs needs the last 2 years. it was threats. well, we didn't know how long it's going to last go when we're going to have that breakthrough, but hopefully this is our fiscal year and it's cutting, but i do not want to just think we are bought 65 percent on recovery protocol. it's really affected in every way and you may want to note that our own living on the economy revolves around to our resume. again, about 6570 percent is related businesses. thank you so much. you're very welcome. well, any you gotten back key lesson that's a young tourist company learned. what's the diversified that customer base due to covey 19 will remember, over 900 post restrictions that limited international tourism. now this local

company has turned to y'all local tourists to keep their business booming. let's take a look. mt. l gone, an eastern uganda is an untouched piece of nature. the old volcano is 4300 meters high. it slopes are in the hot spot for africa. the young generation of travellers job there were doing observing. grady, r o a 100. okay. do you carry my did body all the way through the board. oh, the young boy. lumpy again in a rush. they want to enjoy nature that they want to enjoy it their way picking as well. thank you for making me a lot about to gander, to the plague old that you would come to love her to the recent domestic tourism

campaigns. more young ugandans as seeking out adventure, tourism, and jobs. so echo has spotted a business opportunity and it involves a bit of risk taking your attention. that is why we always say that, do not know what you think. always do what we tell you to do. a 26 year old has started a travel company offering young travelers adventures on the mountain. do you go to la guardia loaded all of these guys need to trust. job 100 percent? it's a life changing experience. yes, it can hope to build momentum in them. it can help to build strengths because this is like conquering one of the fears that you have in your life. doing

this is like your being more brave. ah, tourism in uganda is heavily dependent on foreign travellers. most of them come to see animals like the big cats and the very adorable mountain gorillas. but job is now investing in adventures designed for the young and curious travelers from uganda itself. he knows it's not an easy task. when a young person is joining something that is always that high expectations, i 100 clients, i need this, that cannot help been in a silver plate. you need to walk a poor need. you need to be very consistent tourism nits patience. it's nips creativity. it's an it's motivation, it's always need your mind to think every one hour you have to spend thinking of the new word that comes in so that you can convince someone to come and enjoy your

sub job says before the curve at 19 pandemic. the number of tourists had significantly increased from a monthly average of 20 at the start of 2014 to about 4 times as many by february 2020 right now, his groups may be small, but as the vaccine roll out gets underway, jump is optimistic that more travelers will soon come to see the scenic mountain slips again. this as readily junk is i love our hobby and excited they are. hopefully, we can all get a chance to enjoy something i've beautiful. i've back in all countries. now the most i, mara, is one of africa as best the fiery destination. approximately 300000 tourists.

visit the place to see if exceptional wildlife. and what better way to say they've been for the birds i. we met with africa 1st female balloon pilot captains love me . if i thought to the sky, the mass i mara, by in a spectacle above one of africa's most famous national parks for captain joyce beckwith. it's another day in her office in the skies. she became the world's 1st licensed black female hot air balloon pilot in 2019 colleagues called beckwith captain smiles for her infectious smile. i knew that i was going to be the cannon, the fast canyon, our pilots o female pilots to get the balloon. but i did not realize that i was actually going

to be the 1st black woman in the while to do this. she caught the ballooning bug from her husband's family to our generational balloonist. but ballooning is a very niche market. there isn't even a training program for it in kenya. so to take things to the next level, captain smiles and her license at a special flying school in the united states. there's even a mural of her at the international balloon museum in new mexico. i'm okay. so every time people go and send me pictures, you know, the only thing i went to see their, their smiles, they're quick, you know, it's just a mural of me. the 35 year old spends most of her early mornings, showing visitors the hot stopping magic of sunrise above them. my say mara,

national park, but at the prices of around $400.00 per person, it's a luxury only few can afford. as the untamed wilderness stretches below antelopes canter, bird sing, and a light wind blows. for most, this is a once in a lifetime experience. just asked kenyon, stand up comedian eunice, when jiro aka mommy tow, who gave herself a very special birthday present? i flew with captain spies and led me to the she is amazing. she is excellent as what she does. she is our professional. and when you are now with hi, she is such a vibe and on behalf is an antenna of telling you know, like she is flying and telling you the animals are there. same time. that's amazing . she knows them from afar. hot air balloons work on a simple physical principle. once the inside the balloon is heated,

it gets lighter than the cooler on the outside, which causes it to float upwards. the hot air balloon flies in the direction of the wind, but the pilot can control the movement by using the bonus to change its temperature and never gauging the winds at different heights. captain smiles has been flying high since 2019, and so far has logged 200 hours. when i am flying, i can only describe it as freedom. i can describe beats as um gosh, it's you just have to fly. you don't have to comply with me to, to, to know what i'm talking about. also flying in muslim matter. you have animals around the environment, the fresh air circulating in the morning. you know, from all the nice, green, savannah i, it's perfect. it's laughing,
