Watching a whale playing in the water is a very special experience and privilege. I hope you get to share in this unforgettable experience when you visit our shores.
The whales that are visiting the coastline of KwaZulu Natal every year can be spotted from as early as mid-May and will have left our shores by the end of November.
Whales feed and bulk up during the southern hemisphere’s summer season in the nutrient rich waters of the Antarctic regions.
They travel past our shores during our winter time on their way to their breeding grounds off the coast of Mozambique before turning back and retracting their route back to Antarctica.
These amazing animals travel about 5000 kilometers during yearly migrations, but have been known to travel as much as 25 000 kilometers. more
