As the current pan next to Gowrie dam is using a lot of precious water to keep filled, Djuma has decided to build a new permanent pan next to it. Once the new pan is in place, the current one will no longer be pumped and thus become seasonal, just as the main dam and [...]
With the first-ever WildEarth Expedition behind us and a roaring success, it is time to start preparing for future expeditions to make sure many other wildlife enthusiasts can also enjoy this unique safariLIVE experience.

WildEarth and Africam have agreed to transfer the streaming and distribution of the Pete's Pond cam at Mashatu and the camera at Kwa Maritane from WildEarth to Africam. Additionally, Africam will work with Tau Game Lodge to bring back that camera on their platform in the near future. The Djuma camera will continue to [...]
I have been watching safariLIVE for two years, but I never thought I’d have the chance to visit the camp and spend time with the crew, as well as see the characters with my own two eyes. So, when the safariLIVE Experience was introduced as a part of the diveLIVE Kickstarter campaign, I knew [...]

safariLIVE’s camp is under siege. Who has breached its gates and is terrorizing the populace inside? Is it a group of marauding hyenas? A colossal force of siafu ants?
