You can also book hotels, call rides and find other interesting things to do in Petal Maps which gives you direct access to nearby services.

If you have a supported HUAWEI device, you can also use Air Gestures on Petal Maps to zoom in and out during navigation. It’s as easy as holding out your hand in front of the screen until the hand icon appears to move it closer.

1. Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe isn’t dubbed the adventure capital of Africa without good reason. From game drives to water sports on the Zambezi River, to the clear views of one of the most stunning waterfalls in the world, you’ll be treated to a trip unlike any other.

August is the perfect time to visit the ‘smoke that thunders’ as the area is in the dry season with water levels low while still providing a brilliant flow.

2. Lake Volta, Ghana

If you’re not a fan of the beach or safaris, you might consider visiting Lake Volta as an excellent alternative.

This is the largest artificial reservoir in the world based on surface area and generates a significant amount of the country’s electricity.

To put its size in perspective, Lake Volta covers almost 4% of the land area of Ghana. You can fish to your heart’s content or enjoy any of the excellent variety of exotic and luxurious hotels near the lake.

3. Cape Town, South Africa

Cape Town, the Mother City of South Africa provides something for everyone. Its beaches are inviting, the parks and Table Mountain are enticing and it’s got a treasure trove of critically-acclaimed restaurants, hotels and shopping centres (most notably the V&A Waterfront) to keep anyone busy.

August also sees the start of the whale migration across the Garden Route while there are also the sheer variety of art tours, vineyards and other historical sites to explore.

While you’re there, don’t forget to visit Robben Island which famously housed Nelson Mandela for 18 years.

4. Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique

The Bazaruto Archipelago of Mozambique is a chain of six islands strung out in the Indian Ocean. You can relax, escape and explore to your heart’s content. From diving to see the exquisite marine life, sipping a sundowner on the beach, or going adventuring along the coast, Mozambique provides for an amazing fun-filled adventure to entertain the entire family.

There’s something to be said for staying in a stunning beach villa and watching the sun set in the evenings.

5. Masai Mara, Kenya

No trip to Africa would be complete without experiencing the great Wildebeest Migration across the internationally-renowned Masai Mara safari park.

Even though visitor and vehicle numbers are at their highest for this time of year, it’s for good reason given the high density of predators in the area and the common occurrences of predator-prey interactions.

To behold this great crossing is definitely a once in a lifetime experience never to be forgotten.

Let Petal Maps be your trusty guide this August and unlock a new way to explore the world around you.

Just as the spirit of Ubuntu reflects our collective humanity, Huawei’s Mobile eco-system has developed six key platforms to create a world that transcends virtual and physical boundaries that all South Africans can benefit from.

AppGallery

The journey begins with HUAWEI AppGallery. Launched in 2011, this app hosting and distribution platform has more than 530 million active users globally and has topped more than 350 billion app downloads.

Driven by a user’s HUAWEI ID account, which is the central point that opens up the HMS experience, AppGallery is a veritable treasure trove of free applications available for download.

These apps are designed to make people’s lives easier. As part of this, AppGallery provides a safe and secure environment for kids to educate and entertain themselves, while also using sophisticated artificial intelligence algorithms to recommend apps that match a user’s lifestyle and location.

Its expertly curated selections bring people the trendiest apps, as well as the best local content and services.

AppGallery Gaming

Of course, we all need to unwind from time to time.

This is where AppGallery Gaming comes into the equation. Delivering thousands of local and international titles, the gaming selection is sure to appease all the needs of armchair enthusiasts and hardcore gamers alike. Some of the popular games to look out for include Bike racing Rush!, Crazy Cooking and core games like PUBG and FreeFire.

In fact, HUAWEI Gaming links to HUAWEI Mobile Cloud to offer a uniquely integrated experience across all devices, meaning players can remain active regardless of their chosen platform.

Petal Search

Any digital ecosystem is only as good as its search functionality. HUAWEI Petal Search puts the world’s information in the palm of every South African’s hand. Providing a completely personalised experience, users can access information from local services, find apps, and get relevant search results on their queries.

As with all solutions in the HMS ecosystem, Petal Search adheres to stringent privacy and copyright protection standards.

This means it is a secure and safe environment where South Africans can browse with confidence that any illegal and age-inappropriate content gets filtered out.

HUAWEI Mobile Cloud

With HUAWEI Mobile Cloud, South Africans get secure cloud-based backups to all the digital things that matter to them.

Whether these are pictures or videos, contacts or documents, everything is effortlessly kept up to date in a centralised repository that can be accessed from any device using their HUAWEI ID.

Activating automatic backups, cross-device syncing of frequently used data, and even a useful ‘Find Device’ feature, is as easy as selecting the relevant options on the Huawei device.

Every Huawei user gets 5GB of data free on HUAWEI Mobile Cloud, but there are options available to purchase up to 2TB of space at very affordable prices should the need arise.

What South African does not want to explore more of this beautiful country? For that, there is the powerful Petal Maps app, giving users a new way to navigate the world.

Easily navigate wherever you want to go and find nearby spots such as coffee shops, restaurants, petrol stations, cinemas, and more. Users can share road conditions with other users in the event of a problem and navigate without an active internet connection.

Navigating even goes into such detail as the precise lane in which the user needs to be in order to make their next turn.

Ultimately, Huawei has created a completely integrated digital environment that helps South Africans easily find and navigate the things that matter to them.

These are just six of the services that make up the Huawei ecosystem, but there are also many more to explore. Click here to explore additional great apps.
