Nkorho Pan is brought to you by Africam.com, ranked as one of the top African wildlife sites on the web. We pioneered the live web cam industry in Africa back in 1998 when we broadcast live images from some of the wildest places on the continent. This was a world first and fast gained popularity world wide. Technology has moved on and we are proud to bring you the first of our live streaming cameras on the Africam Wildlife Channel.

Nkorho Pan is a natural water hole in the prestigious Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve, in South Africa. Nkorho pan is named after Nkorho bush Lodge which gets it name from the Shangaan derivative for the call of the yellow-billed hornbill, a common and unusual looking bird from this area.

Best time seems to be late in the evening, or earlier in the morning (i guess thats a no brainer huh). Last night I saw some monkey mooning the camera while he was drinking.  :yupyup: Saw some zebras, water buffalo, gazelles, deer, a giraffe.

Oh no, you're crazy.  If there's any doubt just refer to your avatar :crazy:

Yeah, where did the watering hole go?

Ahhhhh The camera pans and zooms. I wonder if there is an operator or if it automatically reacts to motion.

If you check it out right now, the camera is moving all over the place. Lots of birds walking on the ground and getting water.

The deer type units hear something! They need to zoom out further. I guess there is someone behind the camera. OK that's funny. No sooner did I post that and the camera started panning and zooming out. Maybe the camera man is following the Marlin board :rofl:
