Default A Watering Hole in Africa - Live Webcam

I saw this posted on another forum and thought some of you might enjoy it.

It's almost addictive. I feel like I HAVE to watch it. I might see the Missing Link stroll up for a quick drink or something. Certainly wouldn't want to miss that.

Well, it's not a bar. Hey zebra, you come here often?

There are animals there on occasion. For people who are into nature or watching animals from blinds, I think it would be interesting. I've sat in tree stands for hours on end, just to take pictures of animals.

There's a girl who used to work for my company who has a webcam. I doubt anybody wants to see it, so I won't bother posting the addy.

OK I'll check in from time to time to see if any live ones are visiting..... You're right though, it's not a bar

Default Thank You, Lo!

I find it beautiful and inspiring. I feel almost as though I am there... untethered in pristine nature. There is a hypnotic, almost spiritual feel to it.

I had it up last night, just before I posted here. I could hear something in the brush moving around. I kind of got lost in the moment. I told my gal-pal to be quiet. Did you hear that?! Something's over there! Shhh!

It took me a couple of seconds to figure out why she was looking at me like this

Hey, I think the sun is coming up! Don't the animals have to go to the watering hole to brush their teeth?

Very Cool!
I'm seeing about a dozen wildebeast, occasional up close zooms on single animals. I didn't realize they had vertical stripes.

There must be a lot of flies.. ears waving, tail's flapping, skin quivering... rolling around in the dirt

Sabi-sands is about 45min drive from where I am, so WELCOME TO MY WORLD. The cam is nice, but I promise it is GREAT in real life.

Most reserves have these cams now, so if you want some more adresses, just give a shout, and I'll send them along.

Better yet, come and visit

I hate to admit it, but while I'd love to visit Africa, I'm a little put off -- probably because 95% of American TV and movies portray Africa as a beautiful continent with bucolic villages, where you're having a great time until a bunch of guys with automatic assault rifles drive up in jeeps and kill everyone. I know -- stupid. What do you think about American movies that portray Africa?
