I was on a diving trip to South Africa for Great White Shark and Seven Gills Sharks over at Western Cape followed by Aliwaal Shoal for Ragged Tooth Sharks and capping it with a week of Sardine Run over at the Eastern Cape.
Took the opportunity to do the Animal Safari, but only 3 days, too short, still managed to see the Big 5 and for us Scuba Divers, it has to be Big 5 + 2, the + 2 being the Great White Sharks and Humpback Whales :D Posted 8 years ago
