Watatunga Wildlife Tours and Accommodation in Norfolk.
Watatunga is pioneering a new approach to protecting the planet’s last populations of endangered deer and antelope. Situated in 170 acres of unused Norfolk wetland, their reserve is dedicated to the conservation of threatened ungulates and birds. At Watatunga, deer and antelope species mix with rare pheasants, ducks and the majestic great bustard. Their aim is to inspire a new generation with the challenges of conservation in the 21st century by showcasing the majesty of these creatures while telling the story of their struggle to survive.
Due to the social distancing necessities of Covid-19, the Wildlife Reserve parked-up their 'safari trailer' that was used for group tours. So, in-place they offered visitor parties to self-drive a 4-seater electric golf buggy and follow the safari guide in the lead buggy. The challenge was how the guide can talk to the visitors in each buggy.
The team at Watatunga approached us for a wireless solution. After some trials, ATS-16 tourguide devices were used to transmit the tour guide's commentary from the lead buggy to each of the six following buggies. ATS-16 receivers in each buggy were connected to a portable loudspeaker to amplify the commentary.
Visitors can learn about the birds and animals they see on their tour. Each trip will be different – as the animals’ behaviour changes according to the weather, time of day and season and there is no guarantee as to what can be seen but the guide will bring the reserve to life with an informative and entertaining tour.
