Africa Waterhole Web Cam

[roisin]

My ds1 (8) is doing "Africa" as a topic at school this term (and loving it).

His teacher gave him the address of this website which is a webcam at a waterhole in Botswana. He loves watching it and seeing the animals.

PS Don't check just now though as the cameras are offline and not working for some reason! Check later in the day - after school is a good time.

Blummin' 'eck, that was a loud noise!

still showering

but still lifting back leg

What was that ??

Have you all subscribed to the free trial, or do you have something already installed in your computers to watch it?

I'm a bit of a computer thicko.

no just click on the webcam and there you go

you do need real player though

and do you have to buy that?

no just download it

It says that its a free 14 day trial and then you have to pay|?????

Is that right?????

i have never paid for it and have had it yonks

They also want credit card details before you can acess your free 14 day trial....I wanna see the animals

having said that mine is B&W at hte minute...anyone elses's?

The link on the site is taking you to real time and they want money first!!!!!!!

strange.

google search real player free
and see what happems

That's Real Player Plus - go for just the "basic realplayer" version Jayzmummy. There's a tab at the top.

It is geting dark now that is why

I have never paid ewtiher

thanks rtkm, thought it was me

when you get to the real player page, click on the 'get basic player button' it is top right of screen and not that big (surprisingly)

AQ

What is that splashing? Is nellie/george still there? That message board suggested Pete-of-the-Pond thinks the ele may have a fever (which is what I was wondering when I said is she all right) - the way he/she just stood there for ages and then shambled off and then flopped, just like a human with flu.

I think it is goerge splashing
