Hello, habari, friends! Get ready to witness the results of the premiere of our yearly Reel Challenge, an adventure that began last year (2022) and took the digital world by storm. Our mission was clear: we aimed to demonstrate that reels can serve as a powerful tool for growing your Instagram account. But more importantly, we wanted to prove that organic growth is not just a distant dream. And boy, did we succeed!

Picture this: starting from December 1 and counting down to the eagerly anticipated Christmas Eve, we took up the challenge of posting one captivating reel and a template on our page every single day. It was our very own Advent calendar, brimming with creativity and excitement. But here's where the magic truly unfolded—we called upon our amazing followers to join us in this thrilling journey. We invited them to share their lifestyle, travel, hotel, or Airbnb experiences, clips showcasing their local areas, tantalizing food and beverage highlights, or memorable attractions and events they've attended. The response was nothing short of extraordinary!

As the days went by, we found ourselves running out of our own footage, but that didn't dampen our spirits. We relied exclusively on the contributions from the participants of our challenge, and what a treasure trove of content they provided! We were transported to mesmerizing destinations like Tarangire National Park, the luxurious Grumeti Air in Tanzania, the serene Ngaresero Mountain Lodge, the vibrant energy of Yeyo Africa, the enchanting Lake Chala, the tranquil beauty of Lake Duluti Forest Reserve, and the cultural immersion at Osiligilai Maasai Lodge, just to name a few. Their clips breathed life into our challenge and showcased the diverse wonders of the world.

Now, let's talk about the astounding results we achieved. Brace yourselves! Between December 1 and December 24, 2022, our Instagram account witnessed an exponential growth spurt. Our reach soared to an impressive 11.1K accounts, marking an extraordinary 89.4% increase compared to the previous month. What's even more remarkable is that a staggering 90.8% of those accounts weren't our existing followers. Talk about reaching new horizons!

But wait, there's more! Our engagement soared to new heights, with a jaw-dropping 165% increase compared to the previous month, resulting in a total of 607 interactions. And when it comes to our reels, they took the Instagram world by storm. We witnessed a remarkable 259% boost in reel interactions, totaling an awe-inspiring 991 actions! We're talking about 932 likes that poured in, 13 enthusiastic comments, 18 saves for future inspiration, and 28 shares that spread the magic far and wide. *Cue applause!*

Among the treasure trove of reels we shared, one stood out as the absolute star: Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, posted on day 23. It mesmerized viewers with over 2K plays and 300 likes, stirring wanderlust in every heart. And the journey continued long after its premiere, garnering a whopping 11,136 plays, 745 likes, 2 comments, 29 shares, and 35 saves to this day. Serengeti truly stole the spotlight!

Now, let's dive into the invaluable lessons we learned from this exhilarating experience. Our 2022 Reel Challenge taught us that reels possess an incredible potential for expanding your Instagram presence.
