Sardine Run South Africa – Photographic Tour




17th June to 26th June 2008 - 9 nights

Join us to witness one of the wonders of the natural world "The Annual Sardine Run" up the East coast of South Africa.

Described "As the greatest range extension of any living creature on the planet" This rush of literally billions of sardines, each year attracts predators in their thousands. Imagine the gathering of twenty thousand common dolphins, forming lines sometimes a hundred miles across. Five thousand bottlenose dolphins, tens of thousands of Cape Gannets, and thousands of sharks. Add to this animals ranging from Bryde’s whale’s to game fish, and you are presented with a marathon feast of huge proportions.
