EnglishWhich Locations and Wildlife Cameras Does Africam Cover?
Updated
Africam places live cameras at named safari lodges and wildlife hotspots across Southern and Eastern Africa, and you can browse by location to pick a stream. The site lists locations in South Africa, Kenya, and Zimbabwe, with cameras positioned at waterholes, rivers, and other wildlife hotspots in collaboration with safari brands. Streams run live 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Locations Listed on Africam
The site groups its cameras under three regional headings. These are the specific places named on the homepage:
| Country | Location | What the site says |
|---|---|---|
| South Africa | Kings Camp | Listed under "Africa's Best Photographic Hides" |
| Kenya | Ol Donyo Lodge | Listed under "Africa's Iconic Locations" |
| Zimbabwe | Vic Falls Safari Lodge | Listed under "Africa's Incredible Landscapes" |
The homepage presents these as examples of "iconic locations" rather than a complete inventory. To see every available camera, use the site's locations page, which is the authoritative list and may include hides or streams not featured on the homepage.
Where the Cameras Are Positioned
Africam says it works with "renowned safari brands" to place cameras "at waterholes, rivers, and wildlife hotspots" so viewers can observe animals in their natural habitats. In practice, that means:
- Waterholes and rivers are the most productive viewpoints, since animals come to drink and the camera can hold a wide shot without an operator.
- Lodge-adjacent hotspots put cameras on private reserves and concession land, which is why the named locations are lodges rather than public parks.
- Fixed positions mean the view is consistent but the wildlife is not scheduled — a quiet waterhole can stay empty for long stretches.
What You Can Watch
The site's description names lions, elephants, giraffes, and other wildlife as typical subjects. Because the cameras are live and unscripted, what appears depends on the time of day and season. The site also publishes a "Latest Sightings" section, which is the practical way to check what has been seen recently before committing time to a stream.
How to Choose a Stream
- Open the locations page and scan the country groupings.
- Pick a location based on what you want to see — a waterhole hide for drinking herds, a river view for a wider landscape.
- Check Latest Sightings for recent activity at that camera.
- Watch live; streams are available around the clock.
If you are planning a safari and want to preview a specific lodge, start with the camera at that lodge — Kings Camp notes that guests often arrive having followed its stream for months beforehand.
A Note on Scope
Africam has operated since 1998, when it began as a 30-second refresh image, and has since moved to full HD live streaming. The homepage highlights three locations, but the site's own framing ("our locations") suggests a larger set. Treat the table above as the confirmed named sites and the locations page as the full list.
