Get ready to embark on an unforgettable journey into the heart of our continent’s wilderness. WildEarth (DStv channel 183) is a popular wildlife channel joining the DStv Access package from 15 August 2023. Offering daily authentic LIVE and interactive wildlife experiences in your living room, viewers will be able to connect with nature like never before.
WildEarth stands as a trailblazer as a global brand that is available around the world on 27 different platforms. It transcends the traditional wildlife documentary format by recreating the thrilling experience of being on a safari vehicle in remote locations. Instead of relying on dramatic animal behaviour, it captures the serendipitous moments of unscripted magic that happen when you’re on a safari.
“With WildEarth, we’re adding even more value for the DStv Access viewer,” says Georginah Machiridza, Executive Head of General Entertainment Channels. “Going on safari is an amazing opportunity and the wildlife experiences on this channel allows viewers to ‘visit’ amazing destinations from the comfort of their couch. It’s about making African animals accessible to African people.”
Imagine yourself bouncing along the savannah all from the comfort of your home. You can even ask the guide a question and get it answered in real time.
