Published on: May. 5 2026
Join us as we launch two brand-new live cameras at the heart of the Masai Mara Great Migration in Kenya. Mike Fitz sits down with Simon Terry, Field and Conservation Lead for Africam, to discuss the incredible logistical feat of installing high-tech cameras in the African bush. Discover how these cameras will capture the perilous Mara River crossings and learn about the "Anti-Harassment" tech protecting this fragile ecosystem.
In the second half of the show, we dive into a jam-packed Egg Watch update, including the dramatic eaglet rescue. Plus, we welcome a brand-new litter of future service dog puppies from Northeast K9!
