What's all this about an Africam? And where do I watch it?

[dubeskin]

And lastly, is it free? I see all these threads about it, and am curious. Hopefully it's not some exotic "dancing" camera.

4. I had the same problem but

I realized it was just taking that long to buffer the stream. Keep it open for a while and see if it plays for you. Sometimes my internet connection sucks. That may be your problem too.

I hope you're able to view it.

7. You'll love it

I'm addicted to it.

For me the best time seems to be between 7 am and noonish EST. But when it gets dark there, you'll see things too. The camera pans in the daytime, but is usually fixed at night. Sightings include water buffalo, hyenas, lions, baboons, giraffes, elephants, various deer types, zebras, people in safari vehicles - and the sounds are even wilder. I've heard drums and singing, screams and growling. And then there're all those crickets.
