We’ve been following our friend and photographer Chris du Plessis from Photos of Africa for some time now, marveling at the amazing immersive Virtual Reality experiences he’s been creating using our 360 video solutions.

Some of our favorite content from him focuses on the African Elephant, one of the African continent’s most iconic forms of wildlife.

Experience some of his work for yourself: Afrika Oliphant, a 360 video filmed by Chris,  narrated by Bill Macdonald (Macdonald Productions) and edited by the 360Heros team, takes us inside the world of these amazing animals and the sanctuaries striving to protect them.

Or if you’re looking for a more thrilling experience,  virtually plunge off the Bloukrans Bridge Bungy. Situated 216 metres (709 ft) above the Bloukrans River, this is the world’s highest commercial bridge bungee.
