Welcome to the Wild..

[SweetPeasMommie]

I just saw a whole family of antilopes

 

[Bassetluv]

I just saw the antelopes as well...and a truckor jeep of some sort. It was odd...as soon as the vehicle appeared atthe top of the frame, the camera zoomed away from it. Is this near acamp or resort or something? Maybe they don't want people to see anysigns of life other than wildlife.

The other odd thing is, I could swear I heard whippoorwills calling,for a full minute or so. I don't think whippoorwills are native toAfrica...maybe they have a bird there that sounds like one?

This is fascinating to watch though! A couple of the antelopes lockedhorns and were 'fighting' for a few moments. There was also anotheranimal...not sure what it was...back in the foliage. It's fun trying tomake out what's there!

I was wondering the same thing...then I noticed the answer is right on the website:

Nkorho Pan is a natural water hole in the prestigious Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve, in South Africa.

So its actually a wildlife reserve. Still interesting though!

:embarrassedon't blame me! I'm as addicted as you are! :brat:

I know, it's so interesting! It is by a place called Nkorho Bush Lodge. I've seen it when the camera turned.

Here's the place:

One my my dreams is to go to Africa, so I just love the Africam!

 

[Bassetluv]

Oh wow you guys...doesn't that lodge lookinteresting? Wouldn't that be the trip of a lifetime! What I can't getover is the incredible sounds made by all of the wildlife...imaginewhat that would be like up close and personal!

And now I know what those antelope are called...steenboks:

They're quite entertaining to watch in themselves (still waiting tospot some giraffes and hyenas though...and would love to see a lion! )

 

[binkies]

It is dawn now!

 

[MyBabyBunnies]

There was a pair of elephants on last night, it was neat!

But if someone is controlling it now, they are making me dizzy because it's going around in constant circles...

 

[binkies]

Oh man! I missed elephants! It is basically still now. But there aren't any animals at all.

 

[Spring]

Oh, I've never seen an elephant!

I was thinking it could be motion censored? I really don't know who itworks, because one time it zoomed on this little leaf to show some kindof bug.

Me too! But I did get to see an ant and a beetle...

 

[binkies]

It was a very busy morning! I saw a family of giraffe, wildebeasts, what looked like antelopes (hundreds), and a lion!

 

[Spring]

OH! I'm waiting to see a lion!

 

[JadeIcing]
