As you can see this is NOT simply a diving holiday with add-ons : it's more an adventure to explore the true nature of the South African Wild-Life... above and below the surface. You'll have opportunities to see Lion / Hyena / Elephant / Rhino / Hippo / Antelope / Crocs, etc - and then underwater you're going to see Fur Seals (by the hundred), Raggie Sharks, Tiger Sharks, Oceanic Black Tips, then of course the White Shark... And we may be lucky enough to see WhaleShark & Mantas in Sodwana and we haven't mentioned Whales yet... The other thing that is almost impossible to describe is "AFRICA" - scenery, people and lifestyle that is quite simply astounding : hence the famously sarcastic Springbok phrase:

"ANOTHER SHITTY DAY IN A-FRICA"
Been There - Done That... You will have!
