The Sardine Run is one of the greatest marine events in the world.\u00a0 If you choose to watch you will be able to see enormous shoals of silver sardines, but also the predators that follow the course of the shoal along the east coast of Africa, most notably the sharks, dolphins and whales.<\/p>\n
The sardine run travels along a huge distance of ocean and undergoes an array of changes during that time.\u00a0The sardines start of at the Agulhas Banks on the Southern Cape coast of South Africa<\/span> and take a south to north current – a cold one \u2013 between June and July.\u00a0 <\/p>\n The current carries the sardines north, as well as their food source, which is plankton.\u00a0 The sardine run is also known as the greatest shoal on earth, because it contains not only the sardines and the plankton, but also a variety of different predators.\u00a0 You are likely to encounter: Dolphin, Game fish, Whales, Sharks and Seals<\/p>\n
