The Boma Babbles The Official Africam Newsletter Issue #3 June 2009
Tembe Elephant Cam Africam has partnered with Tembe Elephant Park to bring you the Tembe Elephants live! They are reportedly the biggest elephants in the world. The camera is situated in northern KwaZulu Natal on the South African/Mozambique border. The cam is still being tested and we are running it in "bare bones" mode which means reduced resolution, no sound and no IR lights for nighttime viewing.

Since those days, what was a private bush home has now become a popular lodge with seven chalets and a new, completely separate bar/pool deck and dining area overlooking the plain where the waterhole and cam is situated. To the right of the lodge, when looked at from the waterhole, is the boma. This is a circular wood/reed enclosure where you dine under the stars around a campfire. When we first started visiting NK as a lodge in 2003, there were six chalets (five in a row with No. 6 being set behind the other rooms). Now these...

I discovered Africam in 1999 & since then, there isn't a day that goes by without me visiting the waterholes and enjoying the sights and sounds on the cams.
