==> More LIVE webcams
What has happened to the live cam at Kwa Maritane? Now it is shown via YouTube. It is just showing the same video of a warthog over and over, not live footage.
My apologies Mike. Check now, it should be back to normal.
Sound is off today. 9/22/18
wow – 5 Rhinos at the same time today. NICE
Still recordings on all webcams. Waiting for the storms to come but wont see any if cams are recorded.
Hi Celia. Are you able to watch the webcams nowadays?
If not, which Internet browser do you use? Noticed there’s still a glitch when using Firefox, but on Chrome or Safari it seems to be working fine.
Keep me posted, cheers.
Michael
Saw some lovely baboons now, it was so incredible! Was so exciting to see them! I used to visit Kwa Maritane every year with my family for many years and now live in Australia. So pleased to be able to see the waterhole on webcam. Going down to the hide was one of my favourite things to do when at Kwa Maritane. Thank you! 😊
Glad you enjoy it, Helen!
Thanks for your comment! 🙂
Watching these beautiful animals is just wonderful. Thank you camera person for a job well done. Makes me want to see this in person.
Wow! Think I am seeing a Hippo. Thanks for your letting us view & very enjoyable the services you provide.
Baby Rhino + mother in the evening… very cute to see. ☺☺☺
Camera down
Today a Hippo & Rhino👍❤
Nice! 🙂
Cool, two Rhinos in the evening.. for about 5 seconds 🙁 Every time if the rhinos there on cam the cam goes away and show me the meadow and the water on the left side of the waterhole 🙁 – every time- sorry for my English. i´m from Germany 😀 OOH and birds. Hehe
Hi Starky!
Due to poaching, it is part of WildEarth’s policy not to show rhinos on camera…
Should we therefore avoid even mentioning rhino sightings on this web cam+?
Might be a good idea, though I’ll leave it up to you… 😉
Btw, is it free to watch the cam? 😀 Today only a lonely hippo and some birds 🙂
Yes, free for you to enjoy! 😉
First time here, believe it’s a hippo in the water. Fantastic!!
Thank you to the camera person during the thunder storm for great camera footage
Fantastic thunder storm
Lovely pic but shame about the conversation
Pool is getting really crowded.
Big elephant playing and enjoying the waterhole.
a group of elephants is at the water hole now
I haven’t actually seen them, but there is a lot of vocal activity from the elephants tonight…not sure what is going on with them here.
I also don’t hear the elephants trumpeting like they were before, so evidently the fire is out…hopefully.
It looks like some sort of lights, maybe from vehicles near that fire sight and the fire seems to have been put out? I hope so, if it was a wild fire…poor animals have enough to contend with here.
It honestly looks like some sort of wild fire and I think that is what is upsetting the elephants here…
I see what looks like a fire just beyond the wooded area between the lit buildings and the water hole. The elephants are trumpeting and audibly upset over something…not sure if it’s the fire or what…
So now, Djuma and Kwa have a hippo sleeping in the middle of the water holes…
There’s a hippo here now too and he was drinking, but now is all the way in the water for a good soak
I doubt the leopard would be interested in the elephants, but the elephants just don’t like big cats…that’s what alerted me to the two leopards the other night…the elephants were drinking from the water here and all of the sudden the elephants started making a lot of noise…then I saw the 2 leopards and the elephants left after they sounded off at them.
the elephants must have seen the leopard too…they are trumpeting…they don’t like leopards…
uhoh…I hear it now…the leopard
the cam is zoomed in there, so it must have picked up it’s movement
can’t find where the leopard went…it walked behind the little island and I lost it…
There’s just a single leopard that just came to drink here..
I’m not sure, but this cat looks like someone’s house cat…
The cams usually zoom in when there is motion somewhere, but it hasn’t zoomed in yet and it’s been there for quite a while now.
Anyone know what the animal is that is to the left of the break in the wooded area, just beyond the water hole? Has to be a predator, because it is eating something…the only animals that eat anything here are elephants, giraffes and predators, that I know about.
OMG…first time I have ever seen leopards here…there are two of them drinking at the water hole right now…
I just spotted the rhinos here again
this baby elephant can’t be even a week old yet…it is very small…it was nursing off it’s mom, while she was drinking…didn’t want to let go…so cute
Elephants tonight…with a really small baby
They have to be geese…their necks are longer and they are too big to be ducks I think.
