Mpala Research Centre – Animal Lookout Cam

Nestled deep in Kenya’s wildlife-rich Laikipia county is a unique, living laboratory.

It’s called the Mpala Research Centre and it’s a hub for innovative wildlife research.

Hundreds of species of animals, big and small, call the area home.

And luckily for animal lovers, the centre broadcasts the happenings of these animals to the entire world, via several live streams.

There are a couple of live animal cameras designated to the bustling watering hole at Mpala.

As well as one focused on the scenes of the Ewaso Ng’iro river, upstream from said watering hole.

However, the animal lookout camera above offers a bit of both. It provides an alternative viewpoint, focusing on the watering hole and surrounding river activity.

The stream pulls you into a tranquil African world, where you can watch the animals going about their daily lives.

You can also rest your ears on the peaceful sounds of the savannah.

Birds sing sweetly in the trees and hippos chuckle warmly from the water. All in real-time.

For the best experience, tune into the animal livestream at the crack of dawn for some sunrise magic.

The colors are typically stunning, and the wildlife is exceptionally active.

The same is true for stunning African sunsets, so you can take your pick of viewing times.

Elephants, reticulated giraffes, and vervet monkeys, among many others, steal the show daily.

You can expect to see some of these magnificent mammals while watching:
