The full monty – Tiger Shark, Great Whites & Safari


Itinerary

Day 1
Arrive at Durban International Airport where you will be met by your host and transferred to a guest lodge on the south coast – the lodge will depend on numbers and availability but all are within 5km of the launch site for your convenience.  All rooms are en suite and very comfortable.
Day 2 – 5
The next 4 days you will be able to observe the African Tiger Shark up close, in their natural environment and get to dive some of the great dive spots on the Aliwal Shoal reef system.  Here you will be able to see a variety of other species include dolphins, turtles, moray eels, potato bass, reef & pelagic fish, rays (devil, manta, bull, eagle etc) as well as Guitar, Ragged Tooth and other sharks.
Water temperature varies during the year but in summer the average temperature is 24 – 26 degrees and in winter 19 – 21 degrees.
You will have 3 Tiger Shark dives and 3 reef dives over these 4 days, giving you time to explore the surrounding area in the afternoons.

Day 6
An early breakfast and then it’s off into Zululand for your African safari.  You will be transferred in luxury, air conditioned vehicles to St.Lucia which is situated in the middle of a World Heritage Site.  Here you will embark on a 2 hour boat cruise on the St.Lucia Estuary which will bring you up close to hippos, crocs and a variety of water birds and other animals.  After you cruise you will continue north to Phinda Private Game Reserve – home to Africa’s Big 5.
You will arrive in time for lunch, have a short time to explore you luxury room, get your cameras etc and then it’s off into the bush in open safari vehicles to start your search.  You will return to the Lodge after dark where a hearty dinner will be waiting for you.
Day 7
This day is filled with excitement – an early morning game drive before breakfast, followed by a guided walk if you want to experience the bush on foot.  If you don’t feel like venturing out on a walk, sit and relax by the pool and watch the world go by.
Lunch, followed by afternoon tea and then your afternoon/evening game drive.
Dinner
Day 8
After your last game drive and breakfast you will be transferred to Durban International Airport (or Richards Bay) where you will catch a connecting flight to Cape Town.  Once in Cape Town you will be met and transferred to Gansbaai – home of the Great White Shark.  You will stay in a guest lodge close to the launch site where you will head out in search of the other great apex predator – The Great White.
Day 9
This dive needs little introduction.  The day starts at approximately 09h00 when you launch out of Gaansbaai to a Shark Alley which is situated between Dyer Island and Geyser Rock- 5 miles (8 km) offshore from the village of Gansbaai at the southern tip of South Africa.  You will spend the day out at sea either in the cage or just enjoying the view from the boat.  Return
Day 10
You do it all again – Great White Sharks
