Sardine Run South Africa

8-day 'Sardine Run Adventure'

The annual Sardine Run takes place in June / July. We travel south to Port St. Johns [some operators offer packages at the Aliwal Shoal & Protea Banks but we don't feel this is reliable].

During the Sardine Run you will get up-close and personal with Whales [Humpback, Brides etc], Dolphin [Common Dolphin, Bottlenose Dolphin etc], Sharks [Bronze Whalers, Dusky Sharks, Blacktip Sharks, Bull Sharks etc], Birds [Cape Gannetts, Skewers, Pectrals, Albatros etc], Game Fish [Sailfish, Tuna etc] and as well as many other animals e.g. seals etc.
