I have been to Egypt, but never to the jungles or plains. I do know of someone who has stayed at this very same park, and has told me wonderful stories.

Sorry. That was my fault. I was tapping on the monitor at one of the elephants and she saw me. :biggrin:
Maybe I will dig a waterhole in the backyard and put a cam on that. People in Africa can watch my raccoons and possums and squirrels.

They are cool, aren't they? They seem to like to take a dip in the evenings.

That would be awesome! The parks have been trying to raise money for other cameras in different areas, so a couple of weeks ago I chipped in a little bit for one that was getting really close to making it's goal. So, I just got some good news - there is a new cam going up soon in an area called Satara camp. There are supposed to be many predators that frequent this area so we may get to see a lot of big cats. :smile:

I bet that was a blast. To see all those animals would be so amazing.

Thanks, Evo! Right now I can only see darkness, but I am going to try again at a different time. Are those sounds I hear real? Sounds like crickets and birds.

During the day it was great, there was never a time when there was not at least a half dozen animals. But I can't take any snapshots. :cry:

I watched a herd of zebra. The camera even followed them into the brush after they left the pond. I want control of the camera though!

I think the sounds are live also.
