In August 2025, online wildlife channel WildEarth revived its beloved Kids’ Drive segment—paused since mid-2020—during its morning live safari streams from reserves like Sabi Sands and Maasai Mara. This 45-minute window allows children to pose questions via chat, getting real-time answers from knowledgeable naturalists while observing lions, elephants, and more in their natural habitats Wikipedia.
How It Works
- Daily Schedule: Weekday mornings (Central Africa Time) at 08:00 CAT.
- Interactive Chat: Kids submit questions (“Why do giraffes have long necks?”); guides answer live.
- Family-Friendly Format: No ads, moderated chat, gentle narration tailored to young audiences.
- Global Access: Streams on WildEarth’s website, app, and FAST channels worldwide.
Benefits for Kids & Parents
- Real-World Science: Teaches animal behavior, ecology, and conservation.
- Engagement: Encourages curiosity and live interaction, not passive viewing.
- Accessibility: Free, no special gear—just internet and a screen.
- Family Learning: Parents and kids can plan viewing together, then discuss what they saw.
Tips for Viewing
- Set up at breakfast for a wildlife-themed morning routine.
- Encourage children to prepare questions in advance—research first!

- Watch highlights later if time zones don’t match live slot.
