Tau Waterhole Safari Cam

Wildlife Activity

This live camera overlooks the busy waterhole in front of Tau Game Lodge, deep within South Africa's malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve. The water draws a constant procession of African wildlife — from elephant herds and rhino to lion, leopard, cheetah and countless antelope and birds.

About Madikwe Game Reserve

Covering some 750 square kilometres along the Botswana border, Madikwe is one of South Africa's largest reserves and home to the Big Five. Its blend of bushveld, grassland and the Dwarsberg hills supports an exceptional density of game.

Best Viewing Times

Activity peaks in the cooler hours around dawn and dusk, when animals gather to drink, though the waterhole rewards patient viewers throughout the day. Sightings are never scripted — that unpredictability is the magic of a live safari.

Streamed by Africam, this camera brings the African bush to viewers worldwide in real time, an authentic, ever-changing window onto one of the continent's richest wildlife habitats.
