When it comes to seeing zebras, elephants, ostriches, impalas, giraffes, and at least two dozen more species of African animals, there's just no place like Botswana. National Geographic's WildCam Africa takes you there with realtime, streaming, brilliantly clear and smooth, live footage from Pete's Pond, a manmade reservoir built to house this amazing technical feats of documentary footage, all while providing a watering hole in the Northern Tuli Game Reserve that's safe from poachers. Plans to expand the reserves will encompass lands within South Africa and Zimbabwe in the coming years.

Meanwhile, you can enjoy beautiful live images on your screen all day long. Seriously, there's a giraffe stooping over to take a drink from the water right now, with some ostrich babies running by in the background. How'd they do it? Dedicated satellite uplink, 24 hours a day. For the best viewing experience, open this link in RealPlayer and make it full screen. It's the best reality TV out there (especially in the mornings (EST) ... the sun goes down midafternoon (EST), but the camera switches over to night vision so you can still enjoy the elephants bathing and the hyenas playing for the rest of the day).
