One of the best things on the internet. I've been fascinated with African wildlife since I was a child. Never had the resources to go on safari, never lost the dream. I'm 70 now and will likely never get to visit in person. But thanks to this org., I visit the 5 Africams regularly and see so many incredible sights, 24/7. Tortoises mating, leopard killing an impala, foam nest frogs, nyalas, genets, giraffes, baboons, hornbills, elephants and so many more living wild and free. This is truly a (much needed) gift to the world. Thank you!

Beautiful but what sticks out mostly, is that a community allowed them to set up shop to get paid for video and sending women into the bush to find poachers who shoot first. Are they putting money into those communities? I'm all for connection but when does it become unethical and unmoral, especially now that we have cameras on every corner and person.
