• A unique digital expedition across a Southern African nation has captivated online viewers with its unexpected discoveries
• The fascinating journey, which began with a question about the country's existence, was broadcast on TikTok, showcasing various scenic spots
• The interesting content sparked amusement and lively debate among viewers, who followed the virtual adventure

An online spectacle saw a young woman embark on a virtual exploration of South Africa using Google Earth, seeking out less aesthetically pleasing areas.

The captivating clip was shared on TikTok by @bellsexplores, delighting many social media users, who found the journey entertaining and revealing.

The video begins with @bellsexplores questioning whether a country called South Africa even exists, clearly indicating her initial unfamiliarity with the nation's geography. She then begins her exploration, starting with an impressive estate boasting two stunning double-storey residences nestled near a serene lake, which she declares "insanely beautiful." The digital voyage then moves to Cape Town, where Google Earth first displays breathtaking views of clouds caressing the mountains, followed by a sweeping overview of the city from a high balcony.

The view also offers a perfect view of Table Mountain and the urban landscape, leaving her thoroughly impressed. Her virtual travels continue to Pretoria, revealing splendid cityscapes and a tranquil, tree-lined walkway resembling a scenic hiking trail curving up a hill. In Kruger National Park, she zooms in on a striking tree with numerous branches and a relaxed restaurant area complete with a welcoming bar, admitting that this scenery is far from ugly. The tour concludes in Johannesburg, where Google Earth presents a dusty street lined with lorries, prompting her to swiftly declare it an ugly sight after a glance.

SA reacts to the digital journey

The entertaining clip gained massive views, likes and comments from the online community, who shared their amusement. Many light-heartedly predicted that the virtual tour would certainly take a turn once the creator reached Johannesburg.

Some suggested that the content creator extend her digital explorations to other regions, such as the Eastern Cape, citing how entertained they were by her content. While some agreed with her assessment of Cape Town's beauty, they humorously challenged her to virtually visit areas like Khayelitsha for an all-around view of the city.
