So you want incredible? Want rugged, green landscapes? Not a problem. We’ll go to the Drakensburg range, and it most definitely fits the bill. But wait, aren't you in Africa to see some of the world’s biggest, most ferocious predators? Well, Gansbaaii is known throughout the world as the number one place to see and cage dive with Great White Sharks.
Your predatory quest to witness, research and get up-close with the world’s ultimate predators is all right here, at the “Tip of Africa.” From Cape Town, South Africa’s cosmopolitan city we step out and follow the southeastern coast up to tropical Durban. Along the way, we stop to visit the whales of Hermanus. This cliff-lined town is located in the remote Overberg region at the bottom of the continent. Whales can be seen right from the beach.
“Ultimate Predators is awesome! It is a very diverse trip which makes it awesome because you get a bit of everything.” — Alek Dinesen, Doylestown, PY
Onward to Port St. Johns, at the mouth of the Umzimvubu River. This is our launch pad for the Great Sardine Run in the Indian Ocean. Let fear go and confidence in as you come face-to-face with even more predators. Lastly, we journey to the Siyafunda Research Base near Kruger. Lions and leopards a distinct possibility.
