  Sardine run

  25 mag – 20 lug · di solitoStagione della fauna

  Cold water pushes shoals of sardines up from the Eastern Cape with gannets, dolphins and sharks behind them, most reliably in the last two weeks of June. The KwaZulu-Natal leg has been patchy since the 2000s, so nobody sells it as a certainty. Fonte ↗

  The continental shelf runs close in here, so the humpbacks heading north to calve pass within sight of the bluff from June, and come back south with the calves from September. No boat needed on a clear morning.
