This live stream from Madikwe in the North West province of South Africa is set up on a mountain-category viewpoint over the bushveld. It is useful for seeing how the landscape looks right now and whether conditions are clear or hazy before planning a trip.
Madikwe sits in the northwest of South Africa, on the edge of the savanna that stretches toward Botswana. It is best known as the home of Madikwe Game Reserve, a large protected area of acacia woodland, rolling hills and seasonal waterholes. The town lies at about 1,000 metres above sea level, so the air is usually drier and cooler than in the lowveld to the east.
Because the camera is listed under mountain views, the most rewarding moments are usually early morning and late afternoon, when the light is low and the hills take on colour. Depending on the angle and weather, you may see clouds building over the ridges in the summer months. Check the live view to judge visibility, cloud cover and whether the air is clear.
The region has a summer rainy season from roughly October to March, while the winter months from May to August are dry and mild by day and cold at night. Autumn and early spring are often considered the most comfortable times to visit. Nearby on VizCams you can also find Pilanesberg National Park, about 117 km away, and Pretoria, roughly 238 km away.
