SARDINE RUNSOUTH AFRICA

The sardine wildlife ‘migration’ is actually still relatively mysterious, although there are, of course, theories.  This is an event for everyone to enjoy – be it bird watchers, marine-life enthusiasts, amateur or highly experienced divers, or snorkelers. Experience the Sardine Run beneath the waves or above. Either way, it has been described as one of the greatest marine spectacles on earth.
