At work 5 days a week, I am allowed to watch in between calls.  Problem is out of the few work stations, only 3 have what is needed to watch Africam cams since they switched to flash something (???).  When I can't watch, I can at least join in on forums.  I get to watch (on and off) 7 1/2 a day, 5 days a week.

Mind you, the phone at work may take up most of my day.  Work must come first. 

So wish I could have Africam at home!!!  On a wide screen TV!!!

**Not only are the animals, birds, and even bugs educational and interesting, but the people are good, decent, and caring.  I haven't found better.

I'm another addict and at home, cams are on all the time.

I'm also lucky to be able to watch cams at work.

Only time I'm not listening or watching cams is while I'm out or sleeping lol

When I am at home the cams are up all the time.  Before Africam I used to have a radio playing or the tv etc.,  now I have birds and hyaenas to keep me company

Lol, yesterday on a phone call, someone asked me "what's that sound??"  It was the Pearl Spotted Owlet Eye-wink

I`m usually on for about an hour a day. I check it when I first get up, and then before I go to bed. I check it out whenever I get the chance. I want to go to Africa someday! But for now, this is the closest I can get.

Hi Alison

First thing in the morning, cams and forum even before I read my mails and the world news! Then Africam is up all day until I go to bed. When I'm not at the PC doing other things, I have the bush sound in my house. A visitor once asked me: "Do you have parrots up there?" LOL

It does vary day to day but it is usually the first thing I do in the morning!  I check to see what, if anything, is at the waterholes then check the streaming cam pictures and the forum for whatever has gone on since I went to bed.  Then, depending on my day, I may keep the cams open while I am doing other paper work or check several times during the day.  Since I have insomnia, I open the cams around 11:00 at night, 5:00 a.m. South Africa, and try to wait for the morning parade.  Unfortunately, I am sleeping during the most active time at the waterholes!

Hi Alison...everyone varies, I think.  I usually try to get an hour or 2 in my morning, which is Africam night, and maybe a half hour or hour when it's early morning in Africa...but it varies.  I have to watch how much bandwidth I use so that governs me a bit..lol
