the universe and everything. know the answer. well then give it here. the answer to almost everything. we're documentary series with whatever crazy ground breaking questions. can we go into the afterlife? we're getting dumber. how can we feed every 1? 40 to the answer to almost everything. starts january 15th on d, w. me hello, welcome to your favorite, show the 77 percent coming to straight from them. yeah. and my name is angelica, hello, she, i promise you, we have a, she'll talk food when loads of fun. you don't want to, is that out? there's a program showcase as 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 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 think that's the i mean i showed with us through the narrow strip of stone town so we, i live in stone one of them be as tourists hotspots every morning doing the southern tourists visit this place to see the my tease them, be the river. well, it is also a place may 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 your means, then you will have to cross over. it is in bob way inside we it earlier. but there

are so many things to see here. a side the side of the false come, let me show you around. this is a victoria falls bridge crossing over there then be the river, which forms the border between zambia and zimbabwe. the bridge, however, linked the 2 countries. now this is not the only thing that doris here or doors 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 meter square years down the road. and 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. that's my number's a

. well, i would say my worse. yeah. fight and was, and that's what i'm about to with. i hope so. 0321. and could remember you must you prefer lego going? oh cool. i feel so proud of me. so don, she's great. thank you lou. if you're scared of heights, you're scared of water doing. 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. they'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 gotten invited jumping before and twice? i did filled space with everyone of those times. oh my goodness. i thought it would begin to imagine again. what are you doing so much in livingston 1st? tell us what this place means. design be as tourism industry. it is a to grab it of them. yeah. and rightfully so, because of the victoria falls, which obviously one of the was, but you'd go in there is a lot of natural sites are around the town of living itself. a lot of why historical significance it to us to the cultural aspect of it is still very much

alive with you have the highest within the village live just around the livingston . so we have that mix of life. obviously what the typical african life you'd like. and how much is this contribute into design, be an economy or a prior coffee that at least on record 7.2 percent of the duty of the country. and we're trying 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 fall is not really coming out to what is led to a pause when at this moment no 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 i get to obviously the, not sure putting that we do have, but you can completely rule out the effect of we know very negative effects of why you know, the climate change that we've been experiencing. go 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 i few, we not affected as much yet, but yes, we need to look up. how accessible would you say your tourism is especially to young zambian very well and that's the market that we're trying to explore. both we have in collaborative efforts of the private sector as well as you know, the government was we want to make sure that the, you know, a country gets to experience more. so these 2 are offering, take advantage of what we have, you know, as a country, sometimes we be more likely blamed for did we can't really see what we have. and we just want everybody to appreciate the value of their tourism offerings that we do have. all right, we did put the same question to young zombie and into soccer. and here's what they had to say, that the nation, that drug should i looking at the metro by then. and the thought there was life

in livingstone. we have victory for which is quite a big fall. we are trying to reach, we have revised legs. the best, the gun to, if you want to good, i said you really have to make your budget because that's, that place is really expensive because right now they have on the fuel prices. so the amount like the best value might be the best sam that afford quite right, but then there are others like me who don't really have that much of money to spend to travel, to go visit the places they target football from venetian those nor did you find that the locals do stay in. yeah. buy most of them just with the as wicked and everything and my dirty too. they're not allowed to go into the place. it was that joyce attracted eve. i think they should law,

the prices for the local. i think the best that they can do is maybe like if they, they can like say to do my cation like, besides for the zombie ends and decide for the international in terms of maybe large, wonderful 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 person. do money transfer the course. government needs to do something to see most of the things 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 impact to say?

would you say that your tourism is affordable? zambian. yeah. maybe to our purchase to that. mostly there was this perception that there wasn't enough. what's the directions of the local, the local pricing on most of the activities, but that was more on our way on this campaign. but we do agree also we sent to me because that generally we have been perceived to be slightly higher or more expensive by destination. and now we've been waking round the clock to see on how we can wake around, you know, pricing, and we've been good government at many levels. and we're hoping we will be winning in that regard. but he has a load of desperate attempts to make sure that it's really affordable. and just the odd when you talk to me, especially in livingston, these categories that you might want to take advantage of. whereby even with the lowest possible budget, just to be able to experience some of the things leading them, you know,

has to offer ok. so you thing, you have plans in place to make it to make it more affordable and was just able to the, to the yes, yes. using with around if there's anything that africans can learn from leaving more of tourism. what does your child efficiently just how you are able to generate more employment opportunities for young people towards the for us 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 warmth of the people themselves that can really be experience from the typical setup 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 are 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? i think, you know, every week i did, i fix our industry. thankfully the, this is our 5th hope to resume almost came to it was what i need needs the last 2 years. it was threats. well, we didn't really 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 coming back. i do not want to just think we are, but 65 percent on recovery protocol. it's really affected in every way and you may want to know that our own living on the economy revolves around to our resume. again, about 6570 to 72 is related businesses. thank you so much. you're very welcome. love any you gotten back key lesson, that's a young tours company learned. what's the diversified that customer base due to covey 19? well remember, over 9 did pause restrictions that limited international tourism. now this local

company has turned to young, local tourist to keep their business booming. let's take a look. mount el, 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 java. we're doing up saying grady r o a 100 and there you go divided by all the way to the boat. oh, leave young berg, lumpy again in a rush. they want to enjoy nature the thing which we enjoy it their way. okay, well thank you for making me not about to gander who the plague old that you would

come to our house 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. the 26 year old has started a travel company offering young travelers adventures on the mountain. do you guys like to know 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 buell strengths 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 roll out gets underway, jump is optimistic that more travelers will soon come to see the scenic mountain slips. again. it is 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, 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. you are 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 earned 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 this smiles there quick, you know, and 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 same mara, national park, went and 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 ask kenyon, stand up comedian, eunice, when jiro aka nito, who gave herself a very special birthday present. i flew with captain smiles and let me tell you, she's amazing. she is excellent as well as she does. she is our professional. and where you are that we've has, is such a vibe and on there is an intel of telling, you know, like she's flying and telling you the adam on the same time. that's amazing. she knows them from me. ah, but eh, 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 foot 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 loved 200 hours. when i am flying, i can only describe beat freedom. i can describe beat of gosh it's you just have to fly, you don't have to comply with may do 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,
