Whale watching in South Africa is a popular activity especially along the Western Cape coast. Generally the best time to see whales is from June to November when they migrate to South African waters for mating and calving. Although around 37 species of whales and dolphins can be found in the waters of South Africa, whale watching has traditionally focused on Southern Right Whales, Humpback Whales and Bryde's Whales. Some of these whales are known for their acrobatic displays much to the delight of whale watchers. The whales can be seen relatively close to shore in areas like Hermanus (also known as the “whale watching capital” of South Africa), Gansbaai, False Bay and along the Garden Route Coastal areas. Apart from land based whale watching, boat tours are on offer from various locations, allowing for closer encounters with the whales. Helicopter flights over whale-watching areas, provide an aerial perspective on the whales in their natural habitat.

The months of June to August are considered the ideal time for game viewing in South Africa as the cooler, drier weather and reduced vegetation makes it easier to spot animals. Animals also tend to stay active for longer during these cooler months and water holes, dams and rivers become a hive of activity and provide many opportunities to spot wildlife in the morning and evening as they come for a drink of water. The northern reserves in particular are very popular destinations at this time as the day temperatures there are pleasant, allowing for longer game drives and more comfortable wildlife viewing. The Greater Kruger area has a wide range of fantastic accommodation options, but hurry, it gets booked up very fast! Contact us on [email protected] or [email protected] today to have us create a bespoke self-drive or guided game viewing adventure for you.

Today is World Penguin Day. The African penguin is endemic to coastal areas of southern Africa and is the only penguin found on the continent. The African Penguin, with its distinctive black-and-white tuxedo, playful nature, and large breeding colonies used to be known as Jackass penguins, due to their distinctive braying. African penguins are very clumsy on land, waddling upright with flippers held away from the body. When in the ocean, they are excellent swimmers that can reach speeds of up to 20 km/h, cruise at 4–7 km/h and dive down to 130 m! Unfortunately the species has been uplisted to Critically Endangered by the IUCN, revealing it is one step away from becoming extinct in the wild. It is the first penguin species of the 18 species globally to meet the criteria for this classification. Boulders Beach just outside Cape Town remains the only place in the world where one can get up close to African penguins. Contact us on [email protected] or [email protected] to have us create a bespoke tour for you to come and meet these extraordinary birds. 🐧 🐧🐧 🐧

Did you know that South Africa has 21 sunbird species? A sunbirds' diet is primarily made up of nectar, and their long thin tongues and long, thin, curved beaks enable them to reach down and sip the nectar at the bottom flowers. Different species of Sunbird have different beak lengths. Sunbirds sometimes eat fruit and arthropods (insects and spiders). Sunbirds need to feed almost continually during the day to meet their high metabolic needs. These small, colourful birds are known for their vibrant plumage in different combinations of red, blue-green, purple, violet and yellow.
