On Track Camera Trappers
Camera Trapping since 2004
We have been using camera traps as a key tool in our leopard research (www.ingweleopard.org) for over a decade. We are recognized as being among the worlds leaders in wildlife camera trapping methods and equipment.
Camera Trappers gives you the opportunity to be connected with wildlife in the African bush from wherever you live in the world. Not only will you be connected with Africa but you will also be supporting vital wildlife research aimed at conserving leopard numbers and other species. So how does it work? Our research teams already utilise an extensive network of camera traps placed on game reserves, but we need more cameras. By increasing the number of cameras we can increase our research areas and collect more data to be able to provide sufficient information to model leopard behaviour and numbers. By joining the On Track Camera Trappers program you will be actively supporting our research, as well as enjoying some amazing wildlife pictures sent to you each month. You can join the On Track team of camera trappers either as a subscriber, or citizen scientist, or (and by far the most popular method) you can have your own camera in Africa.

Fixed position Our cameras stay in the same position and orientation year in year out. So if we miss an animals face in one direction, chances are it will come back along the same trail at some point
Selfies Animals are often inquisitive about anything different. Which means we get many selfies.
Baboons A camera trapper’s nightmare. Baboons are very naughty. Its not unusual for them to try to steal a camera. That’s why we secure the cameras to a tree or post.
Made famous by the Lion King, Wart Hogs (AKA Pumba) are often caught on camera trap.
Pumba Much maligned, yet fascinating creatures and a great indicator of something interesting happening on a reserve. Especially at night.
Spotted Hyena The biggest of Africa’s antelope and often very shy, so many tourists don’t see them on safari. But that’s not a problem for Camera Trappers.
Eland
Our cameras photograph whatever passes by and give a great insight into the variety of animals on a reserve.
Whatever passes by Our research focuses mainly on leopards. We simply do not know how many leopards there are still in the wild. Which is the reason we do what we do.
Leopards Our cameras automatically switch to Infra Red mode at nighttime, enabling us to continue to monitor animal activities as darkness falls.
