africa? why no stories? because what's and here is what's coming up we me to young uganda who a boosting, deluca tourism industry in can yeah. up in smiles. takes us on a mesmerizing balloon to over to my sy, mata and cut. i've seen the shows with us through the narrow strip of stone town. so we, i live in stone. one of them is terrific hotspots area more than $200000.00 tourists visit this place to see the mighty them be the river. well, it is also a place they come to see them was doing a full 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 rain in 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 in bob way inside. we did it earlier, but there are so many things to see here. a side the side of the falls. come,

let me show you around. this is victoria falls bridge crossing over there's and be the river which forms the ball that between zambia and zimbabwe. the breach, however, links the 2 countries. now this is not the only thing that juries here or to or is that are coming here. find inviting. one of them was daring things to do. and this bridge is to jump over this stretch, which is a 111 meters is variance down to row. now the question is, will i be able to do this or not? let's find out if i'm daring enough. i'm shaking already. ah huh. that's my numbers with i what i would say my worth, the height and what,

and that's what i'm about to go over a few. i hope so. i bought a 21. a lego going oh, i feel so proud of my own down here. crazy. thank you, lou. if you're scared of heights, you're scared of water doing you and i regret, i've now well,

we're still here on the victoria applause, bridge in livingstone, as you can see behind me, is rather by john paine takes place. i've already seen that, so i am now going to talk to mr. hill. i actually pub, 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 didn't begin to my didn't again. what? yeah. are you doing so much in livingston? first. tell us what this place means. design is tourism industry. it is a good bit of them. yeah. and rightfully so, because we go there. victoria falls, which obviously, you know, depending on the water, but you'd go in there. there's a lot of natural sites are just around the corner itself of why historically significantly to the cultural aspect of it. it's still 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 coffee that at least on record 7.2 percent of the duty of the country. and we tried to push that number because we obviously have the potential that we have what the country, what interesting, but as you can see, we actually saw that the, the fall is not really coming out to what is left 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 natural putting that we do have, but you can't completely rule out the, the effect of the 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 to look up. how accessible would you say your tourism here is especially to young zambia are very up, i'll accessible and that's a market that we're trying to exploit both. so we have in collaborative efforts as a private sector, as well as the, the government because we want to make sure that you are, you know, a country get to experience. so most of these 2 hours i'm offering take advantage of what we have, you know, as a country, sometimes we base more like we are blindfolded, we can't really see what we have. and we just want everybody to appreciate the value of our their tourism offerings that we do have. all right, we did put the same question to young zombie ends in the saca and here's what they had to say. zombie as a nation. did that twice? a drop shade i looking at it naturally for that,

but then and the thought that was life in livingstone. we have victor, a 4th, which is quite a big fall we, i talked to our if we have revised legs, there's a burst most a gun to if you want to. good. i said you really have to make it, but it's good that that place is really expensive because right now they have increase on the fuel pressure. so the amount like the bus fare use quite expensive . there are some that afford greater rate, but there are others like me who don't really have that much of money to spend to travel, to go visit the other places they targeted ah, football from other nation. not did that. and you'll find that that the locals do stay near by, most of them just with the, as wic as and everything ended, majority of them are not allowed to go into the of the places what that choice attraction, eat. i think they should lower the prices for the locals. i think the best that

they can do is maybe like if they can like set a demarkation like beside, full zombie ends in the for st. national in terms of maybe lord gene and also bryce's. and instead of putting them the same, i think they can just more like make it free for students that we usually lynn about this thing, maybe in class, but then we don't get the chance to visit the places in basin due to money transfer the 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 had to say? would you say that this?

the tourism is affordable? ambien. yeah, maybe to purchase to that. mostly there was this perception that there with that wasn't in the course 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. and now we've been working round the clock to see on how we can wake around the 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 there, isn't it specially in livingston these categories that you might want to take advantage of whereby even with the lowest possible budget used to be able to experience some of the things leading them, you know, has to 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 if i, if there's anything that i think can learn from leaving stones more of tourism, what was your child? especially just how you are able to generate more employment opportunities for young people towards the, for us to after that comes natural. because when you talk about torrie, this is more like, you know, more of, of, of our 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 sit up while livingstone in the 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, the experiences, interruptions that we have and everything else viewed around that. so it's really the personality that we do, you know, to, to everything 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 affect to this? i think you maybe we'll see what i did fix our industry. thankfully the this, this is our 5th hope to our 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 prior coffee. it's really affected in every way, and you may wanna note that our own living on the economy revolves around to our resume, again, about 6570 percentage, to raise and related businesses. thank you so much. you're very welcome. well, any, you got a back key lesson that's a young tourist company learned. what's the diversified that customer base due to covey 19? well, remember, over 900 post restrictions that limited international tourism. now this local

company has turned to your local tourist to keep their business booming. i think a look mount l and the eastern uganda is an untouched piece of nature. the old volcano is 4300 meters high. it slopes or an ye hotspot for africa, the young generation of travellers darville were doing absurdly lady called a 100. okay. you carry. why didn't bother? it's all the way to the boat. oh, leave young berg, lumpy again in a rush. they want to enjoy nature that they want to enjoy it their way. i came here to offer he for me. okay. me a lot about to gander who 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 do 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. this it can hope to build momentum in them. it can help to build strength because this is like conquering one of the

fears that you have in your life. doing this is like you're being more brave 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 happen 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 rollout 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 r. 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, wide life. 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 the smiles there quit, 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 mar, a national park, but at prices of around $400.00 per person, it's a luxury only few can afford. as the untamed wilderness stretches below antelopes canter, birds 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 nito, who gave herself a very special birthday. presently, i flew with captain smiles and let me tell her she's amazing. she is excellent as well as she does. she is our professional. and when you are that with high, she is such a vibe and on beth is an anti love telling you know, like she is flying and telling you the animals are they same time? that's amazing. and 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 navigating 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. all the flying in leslie 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 buffing me, captain, smiles, the trailblazer in the truest sense of the word. she's chatted a lot, stealing for women, and asian, and help show of kenya to the world at one of its finest moment. sunrise above the mara. hello, this week we're really going high at the 77 percent. could out to that lady for truly breaking the glass ceiling. now if we're truly talking about tourism in africa, we certainly can not leave out on gucia. it is also known as zanzibar and the biggest island off the ac apology of tanzania. the place is a melting pot of closures. after to our queen city, i mean i strolled us through the narrow streets of stone town. hello, i'm 50. i mean all the way from liver and you're watching d, w. 77 percent. and this is my city.
