Kakum National Park App

Mobile app with VR features for enhanced wildlife experiences

Problem

Out of the over 136,000 who visited the Kakum National Park and Forest Reserve, just a mere 10% explore the park do other activities other than experiencing the tree-top canopy walks which it is known for.

A significant number of visitors wished they explored the vast wildlife if they had more time to spare. Some are also unable to see some wildlife due to the timing of their visits.

Key Issues

  • • Only 10% explore beyond canopy walks
  • • Limited time for wildlife exploration
  • • Wildlife availability timing issues
  • • Missed opportunities for full park experience

Solution

Build a mobile app for the Park with pre-recorded videos of some of the wildlife featured in the park. With VR feature, tourists are able to experience wildlife which may be unavailable at their time of visit.

Key Features

  • • Pre-recorded wildlife videos
  • • Virtual Reality experiences
  • • Time-independent wildlife viewing
  • • Enhanced park exploration
  • • Mobile accessibility
