Wildearth.TV has live video of animals in the wild, along with archived footage.
The safari consists of a Presenter/Expert Ranger who drives around the reserve looking for animals both big and small. A camera person sits on the back of the safari vehicle and their camera is your eyes. This gives a fantastic feeling of actually being on the back of the vehicle as it bumps through the African bush. If you want to talk to the Ranger in real time you can email a question through to finalcontrol@wildearth.tv and he will try to answer it.
The Safari Channel also hosts a number of other live show such as fire side chats with the crew, reMARCable creatures and photography shows. Log in to the calender to see when these are.
