Nkorho Cam 3rd Anniversary celebration !!!

HOWZIT -  what a great site - you have developed

congradulatins to all that have made it

the best  AFRICAN -   site

is it possible to instal the    nk cam    so that it

can rotate  360 %  so that we can see behind the

cam tree towards   KRUGER PARK ?

the majority of the animals listed below come

from behind the  nk- cam tree

we have seen the following animals

 civet - common duiker - honey badge -

 farge spotted genet - scrub hare - tree squirrel

 slender mongoose - white tail mongoose - serval

also  a number of large animals come from the - kuger

direction

edit ---

the addition of the eagles perch

by the nkorho lodge has been huge sucess

i was going to ask if it could be replaced

as the elephants broke it up and shortent it

but realized that its up to the nkorho lodge

 to do that - so just enjoy the site

as we have had   26 different bird species

captured on cam pics

thanks -  barry

have you considered putting  a

lightning rod at the cam tree ?

--------------------------------------------

are thier any plans to dredge out nkorho pan

like they  did at  elephant plains -  the mud was

2-3 feet deep their and nkorho must be the same

------------------------------------------------------------

an idea to keep the elephants from

digging out the water outlet at nkorho pan  -

put  a  400 pound block of cement   (  or two )

with a ring in it that the tractor can lift

placed over the water out  let - at nkorho pan'

it would most  likely stop the elephants from

getting at the pipe-  the rocks are not large enought

well thats what i would do  lol

-------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------

is their any kind of a   safari jeep  drive cam

in the future for  AFRICAM -   ?

even a time delayed video of one jeep trip

a week would help give  all members an idea

of what the guests experience - and we could see

the land and animals birds ect that are seen on

a drive -

thank you

barry

over the years i have observed that

at night - 90 % of the time  all species of

animals - come to what we call -  THE FINGER

could the  cam be zoomed in on this area

when it is not being maned by a zoomi

many regular members also have mentioned in

chat - they would like the cam zoomed in closer to the  finger

 if you look through this  -  NITE LIFE SITE -

you will see the majority of cam pics taken at  -NK-

are at the finger area

thank you - barry

Would occasionally like to see video clips like Josh did of interesting sightings and areas around NK and EP.  Click here for his clip. The pictures Christy and Penny brought back really made me feel more of the entire area.

My question is:

In the three years, which sighting(s) was/were the best? The lions?

and could someone please record it? I think i'll miss it .(

How big is the area visible on the cam?

Bump

I hope it will be great and I hope it will be recorded.

Happy Birthday NK!

Hello Gerda yes it would be good if the cam did rotate like Barry said towards Kruger if possible, and give more view and a bit of more light at night when the infrered light comes on, its a brilliant cam. Kind regards  Doris

Gerda it would be good to show Josh catch the Tiger fish again, what a tug of war that was, thanks Gerda. Kind regards Doris

Happy Birthday Africam!!  Thank you for all the hard work you do to make this possible.  I'm in the United States but my heart is there with you in Africa.

Happy anniversary, Africam - and a big thanks to everyone involved in the enterprise.  Even tho' I'm still having a lot of probs viewing since the changes, it's been a delightful experience, and has helped to keep beloved Africa alive for me.  Cheers!

Happy Birthday Africam, thanks for everything you have done to get it where it is today.  Sorry, I don't have any questions now.

Is there a chance that Tau cam will become a streaming cam in the future ?

Who is the best dung-spitter of you all ??? And if so, we want proof

Do you have a camera that belongs to the lodge so that the rangers can bring along on the drives and take pictures?

Will you be video taping any of the drives in the future?

Can you post a picture page of the ranger at nk?

Hi and Happy B-day.

First I would like to ask if we could see Jacques belly flop into the NK mud PLEASE.

On a more serious note:
What are the future plans Africam has to offer? - Is there more to fixed cam watching planned not necessarily a drive?

Comment:
People get excited with new things, and please take into consideration it does not always have to happen everyday. IE the B-Day event maybe more themed cam events, live drive, show and tell live ranger chat, some travel tips, what to bring. Veld updates, people were very concerned about the fire we saw the last 2nights.

I know there is a suggestion box on the forum:
 
Are you guys taking these suggestions into consideration and more importantly giving feedback on the statuses of the suggestions?
I myself never feel motivated to use a forum to suggest things, in my head I throw something in a hole and never hear back.

How about a daily sightings board on facebook from the rangers what they saw what we didnt see.
FB is a great tool these days and does wonders for companies.

Maybe in a nutshell: Africam can do a bit more in interacting with the people using this wonderful facility.


Kind regards,

EHK

Gday guys happy anniversary for nkorho pan love this cam and the family of people that bring it to us..

Im curious if africam has a mission statement . something that outlines why you started , the goals you hope to achieve and have achieved and where you would like to see africam in ten yrs time..??

For my next question i have to ask if ist possible that maybe some time in near future we could organize a touch footy game between ep and nk .. or maybe the admin team could take on ep and nk .. would be great to see all u guys who work hard for us get together for an arvo of fun.. maybe a sack race if if its a draw ...

Is it possible to add a mic to the nk control area though being a public area i understand it may not be possible??

Can u tell me about the local sabi sands policies on Wildlife conservation and how far the land has come since rehabilitation???

Alot of people would like to know if teh wterhole is natural and if not how did it come to be???

Has africam considered recording the local singers and selling them as mp3's online and sharing proceeds with the singers???

.. the singers with the sounds of africa is one of the most beautiful sounds we hear  drifting across nk some nights...

will add more as i think of them thanks guys paul

Oh something i hear mentioned a lot is Wes cooking on cam .. Is it possible we could have some of the local villagers come and cook some of there traditional food for us, that would be awesome if possible???

paul

Just wanted to comment re: EHK's mention of Facebook and it's possible uses.  Paul's recent and frequent emails with links to FB postings have been most welcome and useful in pointing out recent highlights for those of us with limited time to sit and watch the cams.  Keep up the good work!

Roger

Is it possible or in the plans to give the Chat modirators the ability to move the cameras at night when all the Africam zoomies are asleep?  We sure miss a lot at night (those of us that sleep on a different schedule than SA)

Thanks,

Trük Meister

Oh, and one more thing - it may be too late for this, but no harm in asking - any chance of shutting off the ads for the duration of the anniversary party? 

Something I've thought about frequently, but never heard discussed - the cam tree at Nkorho is an old dead tree.  Nothing lasts forever.  (especially with cranky elies about)  What is the prognosis for how long the tree will stand, and has any thought been given to where you'll put the camera when eventually, it does come down?

Roger

Any possibility of a second cam at NK for the afternoon when we watch against the sun?

Any possibility of a "roaming" cam, with that I mean to have a cam on a birdsnest or a spider burrow or .... something else?

Long ago on africam we had the polar bear cam, any chance of it ever coming back?

I know that this is supposed to be about the NK cam, but the zoomie at EP has been doing such a great job and double good job at night. Would it be possible for someone to cut all the limbs away on the cam tree at EP that are reflecting IR light back into the cam??

And thank you all for what you do to bring all this to us!!!

I was just wondering....we get very excited about lions and other cats.  Do you all get excited but, worried as well?  We are all at a safe distance, but the cat's are in your front yard.
