SARDINE RUN.
In winter the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal experiences an eco phenomenon that is known as the Sardine Run. This happens when billions of sardines swim up the coast followed by large numbers of sharks, dolphins, sea birds and shoals of game fish.
When these sardines arrive there is a spectacular symphony of sea creatures, each one playing its part in the Sardine Run ocean extravaganza, from dolphins frolicking in the waves on the plunge-diving Caper gannets, this marine spectacle in the warm Ocean is a fascinating and unforgettable experience.
