On Youtube.com, there's a live camera in South Africa. It's called Djuma Game Reserve waterhole live cam; beneath the title it says "live now." Djuma Game Reserve is a 4.6 square mile private game reserve, which is part of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Mpumalanga Province, South Africa. It is situated on the western border of the Kruger National Park in Transvaal, which together with some other parks make up the Greater Kruger National Park. You can see lots of animals, but not every animal comes to the waterhole at the same time. The live camera does 24 hours of streaming; it has 12 hours of memory. This camera watches over Gowrie dam on Djuma Game Reserve, in the Sabi Sand Wildtuin, South Africa. In fact, this is the oldest waterhole cam in Africa and the world. It’s been broadcasting LIVE from this spot since 1998. The camera is remotely controlled by a volunteer corps of people around the world known as ‘zoomies’. They log into the camera according to a schedule in shifts, and pan, tilt and zoom in search of animals. They also Tweet sightings @WildEarth. Djuma was started in 1993 as a safari lodge by the Moolman family and is renowned for the quality of their game safaris.
The dry season is from May-September (the grass is brown during this time) and the wet season is from October-April (the grass is green during this time) in this part of Africa. When day comes for us, it’s night in Africa; the daytime activity can be viewed at 9:45pm Mountain Time, 8:45pm Pacific Time, or 10:45pm Central Time, USA.
During the night hours on the live cam; every now and then it shows the regular night screen and an infra-red night screen. When the infra-red night screen shows; you can see the animal’s eyes glowing. You can see the animals in the morning too, if you can wake up in time. If not, just sit on the red bar, rewind it, and you can scan it to see the wildlife that visited the waterhole. Below is the list of wildlife viewed at the waterhole.
