Hey All - This is one of the coolest sites on the web! Africam is a live stream of the watering hole (Nkhoro Pan) on the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve in South Africa. It's live 24/7 and you can see pretty much any animal Africa has to offer. This is a great site for kids....some say even better than going to the zoo! You can see Elephants, Giraffes, Monkeys, Zebras, Hippos, Water Buffalo, Wart Hogs, Gazelle, Hyenas, Anteaters, a million types of birds, - really every kind of African wildlife! It can be addicting so watch at your own risk!
When you click on the link below, it will take you to the site where you'll be stuck with a 30 second commercial, but it's worth it! Once you have it open, if you'll double click on the Africam screen, you can make it full screen on your computer. Then, just double click the screen again to make it regular size.
Even at night, you can see the watering hole because they put a night vision lens on the camera, and there's a microphone that captures all the sounds. There are camera operators there during the day and sometimes they're there at night so if something is going on, the camera operator will move the camera around so you can see.
There are also several forums so you can learn what's going on and about the animals - it's something the whole family can do together!
*Note to Parents* - Because this is a live site, it does not cut to commercial when a lion takes down a water buffalo. This sorta thing doesn't happen often at the watering hole, but it has happened two or three times in the past year, so I just want all the parents to be aware of this....this is real life nature.
So, have a vicarious wildlife adventure - Click here to go to Africam!! Let me know what you think!
