About Us
Welcome to Latest Sightings, your premier platform for real-time wildlife sightings, connecting nature lovers and safari-goers worldwide. Founded in 2011 by Nadav Ossendryver, our mission is to enhance wildlife experiences by enabling visitors to game reserves to share and receive live updates on animal sightings. This allows people to make the most of their safari, ensuring they don’t miss any of the incredible moments nature has to offer.
What started as a passion project has now grown into a global community of millions, with followers across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and our dedicated smartphone apps. Today, Latest Sightings is more than just a social platform—it’s a leader in wildlife media, conservation support, and a unique space where individuals can contribute to research and conservation efforts.
