Safari Enquiry

One of the best land-based whale watching spots in Africa, the quaint seaside town of Hermanus has locals flocking here for the annual Whale Watching Festival, held in September.

South Africa is a whale watching mecca. Seeing the gentle giants of the Atlantic frolicking close to the shore is a mesmerising experience.
