What is so unique about Virry VR?
It’s a chance to take a short break to visit Kenya and interact with the wildlife without leaving your home or workplace. An actual safari experience costs around $5,000/week, whereas Virry VR is $4.99 or $29.99 depending on the platform. You can come back as often as you like. Even when you are feeling the blues – it’s the quickest and the safest experience to immediately reset your mental state.

I have seen thousands of spherical videos, and the footage from Virry VR is the most stunning nature scenes I have ever seen in any medium. Seeing a big Rhino, in its natural home, from the perspective of a mud puddle inches away, or having a Lion literally lick my face to test if I am edible, was among the coolest things I have done in VR to date. I predict this project will be a huge success in motivating people to learn more about nature and ecosystems.

In years gone by we envisioned an 'electronic safari' where people could encounter nature from afar so that wild animals could be left in peace. I’m happy to say that day has come.
