There are several ways to experience wildlife online. Obviously the visual capability of the internet, bringing you images either dramatic, cute or immediate, is one of the most useful. Herewith a guide to some ideas of where you can enjoy images of African wildlife on-line.

Our Images of Africa section features a Pic of the Week, as well as an archive of the best images. There are also links to the ABPL Rino Gallery, the Agfa Awards and The Big Five. The WildNet Africa art gallery allows enjoyment in a different medium.

Fresh, personalised communications from Africa. Isn't that what staying in touch is all about? Our Cyberdiaries do just that - immerse yourself in the wildlife of Mala Mala, or learn about the life of a vet, Dr Markus Hofmeyr, in Madikwe Game Reserve.

The Africam waterhole webcam is very popular - but you have to be lucky to see an animal there, especially in summer.
