Move Over Deer Cam, here's Africam!!!

While the deer cam concept was fun, we are now on to bigger and better things. Africam
provides some of the most compelling video on the web in my opinion.

The site is brought to us by africam.com and is providing live video of Nkorho Pan, which is a natural water hole in the prestigious Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve, in South Africa. Nkorho pan is named after Nkorho bush Lodge which gets it name from the Shangaan derivative for the call of the yellow-billed hornbill, a common and unusual looking bird from this part of Africa. I've seen hyena's, elephants, lions, gazelle and numerous other creatures. A small warning, you are likely to see the "wonders of nature" on this cam, including lower parts of the food chain becoming just that, food.

Enjoy and Happy New Year!
