Title: Bettermost Virtual African Safari!
Post by: Kelda on October 05, 2006, 09:19:53 am
In deleting my cookies today i came across a website I used to love and though i'd post for others to see.

It's a webcam at kruger national park in south africa.

http://www.sanparks.org/parks/kruger/webcams/ (http://www.sanparks.org/parks/kruger/webcams/)

I'd forgotten how cool it was.

That is cool! Looks like a watering hole so animals will visit often. Thanks. I saved it to favorites so I can check in.

I'm sure I will never travel to Africa. Africa makes me sad when I think about it because there are so many terrible things happening there. To the people and the animals.

I think they are all girls except that one on the far side....it looks like it has horns!!

If ya'll do visit and see anything post it here so we can see too!

It is very addictive! Someone last night saw a BIG ol deer/antelope by itself...but of course I missed it!

Kelda originally posted a link to this site:

http://www.sanparks.org/webcams/satara.php

Sometimes the webcam is down. Check back.


I recently found this watering site in the webcam forums:

http://www.sanparks.org/webcams/orpen.php


I yelled out loud when I spied these Zebras recently!


Check them out and post your sightings here.  :)  Seeing the animals in close to real time across the world is amazing I think.

Here is a link to a second watering hole. I found it on the forum section of the site:

Here are "my" Zebras. I was so excited I yelled out loud:

The webcam has been down since yesterday. I guess it happens. The oval watering hole webcam is up but I have not captured any animals yet. I saw an animal leaving. Not sure what it was.

I would have loved to see the Babboons!

I keep the site in a second window also so I can check it out while I'm online.

Post by: Kelda on November 09, 2007, 04:50:13 am
whats interesting is to see how the water hole increases and decreases in size over the course of the seasons - sometimes there is no water at all - others its plentiful and so there are lots more animals...
Title: Re: Bettermost Virtual African Safari!

LIONS I want to see lions!

Me too! And Elephants.


Good pictures Susiebell! I saw a similar bird last evening. He/She stayed for quite a while and it was neat to see the birds reflection in the pool. I also saw a very small animal. Not sure what it was. It was only there for one frame. The little critter must have drank fast and left.

Cameras have been down off and on still.
Title: Re: Bettermost Virtual African Safari!
Post by: Wishes on November 14, 2007, 07:32:03 pm
Yes, I think those are an African deer type animal. (I don't know the official names  :) )

Good spot! I may have missed them.

I wonder if they are very cautious due to the fact that big cats also come to the watering hole so they must be very careful.

Jess, that's a great shot of the whole watering hole and herd.

Susiebell, great shot. It looks like dusk. I love the colors.

Before I go to bed I'll post my sightings from this evening.

Birds. I wonder what they are called. And more of the dear little deer animals. They were around for quite awhile. Getting their morning drink. I'm so glad water is provided for them.

when I first started looking at these waterholes I wanted to see lions...(ok still do...do they NEVER get thirsty???!!) but now I just worry to death about some of these deer...when they come up in groups it is fun but earlier this morning a LONE deer came up..and ya'll KNOW it is ALWAYS the lone deer that gets eaten!! It had its head tilted looking at that clump of bushes and I was just thinking "DON"T GO IN THERE!"

It is like watching one of them slasher films...
Title: Re: Bettermost Virtual African Safari!
Post by: injest on November 16, 2007, 04:27:13 pm
Eeeeeek! :o

My son was watching the deer yesterday evening and said "Wouldn't it be cool if a lion jumped out of that bush right now?" then proceeded to act it out for me!  Sweet boy!  ::)

Susie  :)

oh no!! that is a boy for you, isn't it?  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

and he is too young to think about the poor deer.... ;)

Susiebell, That is the first time I have seen the Satara webcame at a wider angle. Great pics! It's been real slow for me there.

Jess, I too worry about the animals. It's good to know I am not the only one. I would freak out if I saw an attack. Usually the deer come in groups. I wonder if others were close by.

There was a lot of activity last evening (morning for them) at the Orpen (round) webcam. Birds, lots of deer and about 6 Zebras but they were on the far side of the water hole so the pictures were not too good.

Here are two pics from I think Friday. Deer kept coming and going for a long while and it looks like a bird is perched on this one deer.

Those are wonderful Susiebell. I wonder what the bird is. It almost looks like it could be a buzzard but then perhaps not. Very long legs.
Title: Re: Bettermost Virtual African Safari!
Post by: Wishes on November 19, 2007, 09:01:12 pm
I did a little searching around the Kruger park site. I think the little deer may be Impala. Also saw pictures of birds and the "Maraboe Stork" looked like some of the birds spotted at the watering hole. There were also pics of Vultures, Heron and different Storks which are quite large birds. But heck if I can tell specific birds apart. 

It's just good to see then

Post by: Wishes on November 20, 2007, 05:34:37 pm
More good pictures Susiebell. Water buffalo?

It's been busy at the Orpen watering hole but nothing for me at the Satara watering hole.

I got these last night. There was so much activity I finally had to shut down the computer or I would never have stopped looking!  :)

little deer works for me!

Hi Wishes!

been a while since I seen you around....the army didn't get you??

there is a note on the website about the closeups....they said some people LIKE the closeups and some people want to see the whole waterhole. Since they can't afford to have someone monitoring the cameras all the time, they just take it in turns...sometimes they leave it zoomed in and sometimes they leave it showing the whole waterhole.

and I ain't seen a thing since that big ol thing the other day!

The animals in this picture appear to be moving fast. There is an animal in the middle. I can't tell what it is. Wildcat?

A few minutes later, all seemed calm but not as many were there:

Kelda, I'm sorry I removed all my pics from my photobucket account, so my Safari pictures are not up anymore. The only good thing is at least I have a lot of room to add more pictures.

Aren't the reflections wonderful in this one.

Love the nighttime elephant shots Mouk.  Oh I wish we could get paid just to watch the web cams all day.  Imagine what we are missing!  :o  LOL, my daughter will sit and watch for 30 minutes at a time waiting for something to show up and then it's "Hurry Mommy Hurry!"

These are fabulous!! And you saw a leopard, this is a rare sight!!! I was watching around that time, but missed him.

We had an earthquake during the night and I couldn't sleep, spent two hours wildlife watching and all I saw was a buffalo and a hyena...  >:(

What is the small creature looking like a desert fox under that of the leopard?
