Black Eagle Camera Launch           Africam Black Eagle

Africam, in partnership with the Black Eagle Project Roodekrans, are proud to announce the launch of the new Black Eagle live streaming webcam. The brainchild of Libby Woodcock and her team at Black Eagle project, they are dedicated to the conservation of these endangered raptors and will use the live streaming webcam to monitor and obtain vital information on their breeding cycle. This information will be used to help conserve the Eagles and their habitat as well as educate viewers worldwide. For more information on the Black Eagle project Roodekrans go to BLACK EAGLE WEBSITE

We are not certain of the official launch date of this exciting new addition to our streaming cameras but we can tell you it will be very soon.

Africam's Resident Water Monitor          Africam Water Monitor

One of the most fascinating creatures we find around the water hole at Elephant Plains is the water monitor lizard. His movements, his markings, his claws...almost all of him reminds us of prehistoric times. Like other reptiles, he must sun himself for warmth before he can start his day.  He is the only lizard that has the tongue of a snake! Take a look at the water monitor facts  and video by clicking here...
