Lily and Lara will soon be on television screens, sharing their exhilarating first-hand and personal experience of the African beauty and mysteries.
“The Adventures of The Twins In Africa has been created for two simple reasons, education and conservation,” said Roland Vincent, the brains behind the initiative, the director of the television company driving the project, Africa Cries Films, and the twins’ father.
He said the aim was to ensure that children from communities in the very remote corners of Africa benefited from their heritage.
“Education is the key, through media, to save our world heritage. This is where the twins – Lily and Lara’s personal storytelling – will be so crucial to the success of the project.”
Focus on Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe
Lily and Lara will start their journey in South Africa before moving on to Namibia, where they will travel extensively through exciting places such as the Fish River Canyon, the Skeleton Coast and the majestic Brandberg Mountains.
Thereafter, they will proceed to Botswana and then Zimbabwe, filming as they go. The girls will be home-schooled by teacher, Amanda Mubobo, who will travel with them.
The nine-month filming period will give the twins time to experience the untamed wilderness and cultures of the Southern African countries.
From nature reserves, local communities, and game parks to camping sites and lodges, they will explore the wilderness of these countries in new and exciting ways. Every episode will be completely different from the last, keeping the viewers engaged, educated and entertained.
“I was motivated to begin this production by the way my girls have such a love for Africa, the wild fauna and flora, and to show the children of the world that there is a lot more to life than drugs,and alcohol,” said Mr Vincent.
Lily and Lara said they aimed to reach the children, the future leaders of the world and give them a voice in the protection of their heritage.
They have already filmed the first episode.
