They are 6 hours ahead of Easten US time, 7 for you. There's a local clock on the webpage if you scroll down a little...

And that noise is LOUD! Maybe some kind of tree frog or a bird???

I just checked again, and I swear they got louder! lol Its probably the tiniest little frog making all that noise
Still no animals

EDIT: I just checked and its 9pm over there, so it looks like I'll have to wait a while..... is it in color during the daylight hours?

Yep its color during daytime and the quality is really good too!

yay!

lol, fosters, my dog just jumped when he heard those birdies "calling" to him! lol

My screen is all green. Is it supposed to be like that?? Not my actual screen but that cam screen.

No, if it's working right you should see a watering hole (pond) that's dark against a lighter background (the grass.)

You also have to have Microsoft Windows Media Player to view the webcam.

I'm still in love with this! During the day someone has been moving the camera and zooming in on the different animals. You deffinately get a good view!

I think there is a dove wandering around the watering hole.

A bunch of zebras just drank from the watering hole and passed by!

How come I never get to see much when I look

Wait about 2 hours, and it will be getting daylight there. Midnight til noon is the best time.

Ooh, I saw a deer-thing earlier. Nothing going on right now though.

It's daylight there now, Laura! Hope you're watching, I saw some ducks just now!

We've been watching this camera all week at my work- everyone has it on their desk top!!

Neetanddave- I saw those zebra's the other day too! Yesterday we saw 2 elephants also!

My brother said if you watch it at around 11pm (eastern) there's a ton of activity because it's dawn there.... but I never remember and I'm usually trying to make my way to bed by then.

Here's a link that will open it in window's media player rather than the webpage: mms://live.wildlife.wavelit.net/nk1957

I turned it on just in time to see a herd of wildebeasts leaving! That's the first animals I've actually seen!

BTW, Wildebeasts are known in Africa as "African Buffets" because everything eats Wildebeasts. My father just went to Africa this May for his honeymoon, and came back with the most amazing pictures and stories.

WOW! It is looking stormy there! First time I've seen that.
