About Africa Web Cams

The template image

Africa Web Cams is a public-private partnership jointly sponsored by KZN Tourism, the Tembe Elephant Park and KZN Wildife.

The goal of Africa Web Cams is to help communicate the magnificance of our Province's (KwaZulu Natal) wildlife, and natural and cultural heritage, to the people of the world.

In one sense, the locations of web cams at Tembe is an end itself. But, if the project is the success that we hope it will be, we plan to establish other Africa Web Cams at other locations in KwaZulu Natal.

Future Africa Web Cams

Assuming the success of our first web cams, other locations are under consideration.

These include the white and black rhino (Hluhluwe and Umfolosi),
various bird sites and the Durban surfing beaches.

Perhaps even, in due course, web cams focusing on 'old four legs', the Coelocanth fish with embroyonic
feet, that is increasing being found
by deep-sea divers off the coast of KwaZulu Natal. The coelocanth was previously thought to have been extinct for a million years.

More about Africa Web Cams

The Africa Web Cams are located at a 'hide' overlooking a waterhole in the Tembe Elephant Park.

The advantage of a waterhole location is the (only relative) predictability that elephants will come to the waterhole to drink and enjoy mudbaths.

But the elephants will NOT be there all the time. The herds range over a park of hundreds of square kilometres. Some patience IS required!

The Africa Web Cams are powered by solar panels. Images are transmitted to Internet servers by satellite.
