Djuma Waterhole - Sabi Sand Game Reserve, South Africa

Gowrie Dam at Djuma Private Game Reserve in the Sabi Sand, where elephants, leopards, lions, and a constant cast of African wildlife come to drink. What makes this camera different from every other wildlife feed on the internet is its history - it has been broadcasting live from this exact spot since 1998, making it the oldest live nature camera in the world.

Djuma sits within the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, which shares an unfenced boundary with Kruger National Park, allowing wildlife to move freely across one of the largest protected areas in Africa. The reserve has exceptional leopard density, and big cat sightings at the waterhole are a regular feature of both day and night feeds. The camera is operated with the help of a global team of volunteer "zoomies" who log in remotely to pan, tilt, and zoom the camera onto wildlife around the clock.

Impala, waterbuck, nyala, warthog, baboon, elephant, giraffe, and crocodile are among the regular visitors, alongside rarer appearances from cheetah, wild dog, and porcupine after dark.

Did You Know? The Djuma camera launched on 17 August 1998, when founders Paul Clifford and Graham Wallington mounted a CCTV camera on a trailer with solar panels and batteries, transmitting the signal via an analog microwave link to a PC at the lodge that captured a single still image every 30 seconds and uploaded it to servers in California. Within months they had driven the rig - nicknamed Skadonk - to a lion kill and broadcast it live, making it the first live wildlife kill ever streamed on the internet.
