Djuma, situated in the Sabi Sand Wildtuin (South Africa), is WildEarth’s most famous waterhole and perhaps a local favorite for LIVE wildlife action.

Did you know?
Djuma cam overlooks the Gowrie Dam, and is actually the oldest waterhole cam in Africa and the world. It has been broadcasting LIVE from the area since 1998.
Open your eyes for…
Big cats, elephants, hippos, and many other types of mammals, birds and reptiles.

DID YOU KNOW IT IS OFF THE AIR MORE THAN ANY OTHER LIVE CAM? Only one reason I can think for it? POOR MANAGEMENT!
“Waterhole cam update: As previously shared, the breaker at the Vuyatela
mast needed to be replaced to resolve the problem we are having with
power to the Djuma cam. The electrician is supposed to come today (Monday Oct. 31st) to replace the breaker. Providing that all
goes well as planned, the cam should be back online within the next
couple of days. ~ Karen” Thank you for your patience!
It off the air now for some reason. Can’t find it anywhere? This is the second time this has happened.
These things happen at times. The webcam is back, enjoy! 😉 Also feel free to consult the other ones: https://africafreak.com/live-african-wildlife-webcams
So glad you are seeing them too, Jana…there is a lion and a lioness and a couple of cubs here again tonight. Now there are move than the one lioness…it’s part of the pride I’m seeing here now.
Today again a fantastic experience, I even dreamed that I see this, large lion pride. Lion, lioness 4 and about 7 or 8 cubs. I am incredibly happy that I managed to see this. The lion is probably tired of so many offspring, so sleeping and resting lioness and cubs are playing.
A Duiker is at the waterhole drinking now…not sure if that is what the kill was earlier or not…but, this one is here now…better watch out, with the lions active here at night now.
Hey Janet, hope you’re doing well… 🙂
Just started to curate some of Africa’s best wildlife videos. You can find them here, and I will be adding some more very soon.
Take care,
Michael
She had been in the dark area behind the waterhole so I couldn’t for sure see what she was doing, eating or drinking, but there is no water there, I can see now where she was and it had to be a kill she was at.
Yes, she was eating something earlier, I can see blood on her face.
Well, she is drinking here now, but I think they must have made a kill here sometime today or tonight, because she wasn’t at the waterhole earlier, she was behind it…so not sure what she was doing, unless she was at the kill.
I have yet to see them at Tau…I gotta watch there again…there is a lioness here tonight, drinking from the waterhole. So glad, Jana, that you are getting to see them.
So today I was lucky again, she returned lioness drinking water and when she went away, then came another lioness
Hello Janet, I finally saw a lion. She was very thirsty, drink the water long.
Hello Janet, lions I saw only one night at Tau, here I have not seen the lions
One more thing, Jana…when I do see the lions here, it has been in the daytime…not sure where they go at night.
For some reason too, Jana…I don’t see too much action at Tau…I have seen rinos there and at one other place…I think Kwa.
3 younger and 1 older warthog at the water hole
Impala at the water hole…a small herd of them
hippo is back sleeping in the water hole again..
3 Duiker tonight…this is getting to be a small herd…lol
A leopard is on Kwa right now…
You are very welcome, Jana…he has been coming here every night and a little while ago, I saw my first two leopards…I think it was a mom and her almost grown cub at Kwa…I am so amazed to see them…they are by far my favorite of the big cats…although I love them all. Happy watching
just like you said Janet, I just watched a leopard, it was huge. It’s beautiful. Well thank you
the leopard and hippo did see each other, but neither seemed worried about the other…the leopard is actually napping here…doesn’t seem like a very safe place for a nap
Hippo is back drinking again…the leopard is back too, but off to the left of the water now
Oh no…now a lone zebra too…sheesh, why alone at night…can’t figure some of these animals out…well the ones that are “would be prey”…
the leopard is back tonight too…right on the far edge of the water hole
Tonight there are 2 Duiker at the water hole…very wary
A lone zebra just came for a drink…the cape buffalo are still here too.
Antelope just left the water hole and now the cape buffalo have arrived here to drink
I can hear hyenas calling…not too far away
Just learned something new…their name “Duiker” comes from the dutch word “diver”, because they dive into the bushes when startled…must be how this one has managed to survive alone at night for this long.
