  • The Djuma dam cam has been a source of wild entertainment from the day it was first switched on at the Djuma Private Game Reserve. Since then the dam cam has undergone many upgrades, repairs and clean ups. Graham Wallington as well as Jurie and Pippa Moolman give us the story of the dam cam.

    Thank goodness for people like you and Emily and the Moolmans! I remember being gobsmacked that I could watch every day lives of animals around a waterhole while I had a cup of tea in Australia. You must have opened so many eyes to the wonder of life. Thank you.

    Thank you Graham, Jurie and Pippa for seeing this vision & moving forward with it. We absolutely love it. Any time i bring up this cam to friends & family, they cant believe something like this exists! Many of those people are now regulars here.

    To be able to see the awe inspiring wildife of Djuma, on a daily basis and in their natural environment is a privilege indeed. It is educational, interesting and the photography is incredible. The close ups, at times, just take my breath away. Thank you so much.

    I watch almost every day since I found out only this year Shame I lost 20 year of watching beautiful Africa with so much diversity of amazing animals and fauna the great beauty of nature. Thank you for teaching the world how animals live in the wild the struggles for surviving every day and how beautiful and unique each animal is, how loving and precious creatures are with so much love and feeling in their souls. Thank you so much

    Djuma dam cam (and the other cameras of Africam) was the reason we had to get the internet connected at home in Sydney back in '99. It's such a splendid camera (and operators) now but I still remember the thrills in the 30 second updates.

    A brilliant and beautiful idea. An idea that not only entertains but educates at the same time. And even though I mainly lurk these days, I love the fact that you can chat to others whilst watching. There's many nature live streams that don't allow people to chat let alone leave comments. Apart from the daily view tally and thumbs up how are these other streams going to know how they are tracking if they know allow comments ect? And that's why SafariLive/Djuma Camera Live is/are the Number One TH-cam Nature Channel to watch at the moment.
    My wish is for someone one day very soon to set up a camera ( that is environmentally friendly and is very robust ) somewhere in The Great Barrier Reef 24/7 . In the hope that if enough people connect with The Great Barrier Reef and care about it, it may be saved and return to pristine health...... 👍that one is for you Graham Wallington and of course Emily Wallington.
    Thanks for for all the great viewing all these years. 👍that's for all of those wonderful Zoomies...... 💚🐾
