Step 1: Become a Subscriber

To join the fun and take part in SafariSnaps, you must be an Africam Premium subscriber. Go to Africam.com to sign up and gain access to SafariSnaps.

Step 2: Create a Snap and Tag

Watch Africams live streams to capture and tag sightings. Make sure that the animal in your snap is visible and fully in frame. You can only tag each animal once per live sighting. 

Step 3: Leaderboard

As you snap and tag animals, your score will automatically be updated on our leaderboard.

SafariSnaps Guidelines:

Rarity scores: Each animal has a rarity score based on how often they are seen on the Africam cameras. 

Clear Sightings: Animals must be clear and in frame for the snap to count. Otherwise, it will be removed.

Timing of Snaps: Animals can only be tagged once per live sighting. Multiple snaps taken of the same animal from the same sighting will be removed. 

Animal Categories: There are two categories in which your snaps will fall – animals (everything except birds) and birds. 

Winner Announcement and Prizes

The overall winner, as well as the winner of animal and bird tags, will be announced at the end of every month.

Each month, these winners will receive a shoutout on Africam’s blog as well as an exclusive prize!
