If you've ever wanted to go on an African safari, "The World's First Virtual Game Reserve" is a way to fulfill the dream. Thirteen live cameras stationed across the continent give us a view of rhinos, elephants, zebra, giraffes, and rare birds. Frequently updated newsletters discuss what viewers see, including the animals' side to the recent floods in Mozambique. And if you spot the animal of the week, you can win your own AfriCam T-shirt. Get your cyber-nets ready!
