My wife and I joined the Sardine Run as part of our honeymoon. Service at the Hotel was wonderful, with friendly and helpful staff - food was basically free flow. It tasted good and fresh all the time. Our Divemaster, Josh, was basically a human dolphin with the face of Ryan Gosling. He had that bad boy look going on but when he started speaking, he would become an excited geek whenever it involved… … Read More »
A once in a lifetime diving and safari experience, Kruger and Sharks!...although I dare you to stop at one tour...I plan to return as soon as I can!

The safari portion of the tour exceeded… … Read More »

Ever since I was a kid I’d been desperate to visit southern Africa, to see all those incredible animals you watch on TV growing up: lions, elephants, rhino, leopards etc. And since becoming a diver ten years ago my desperation only grew as I learned about all the awe-inspiring creatures waiting there for me under the water: dolphins, mantas and a whole host of beautiful sharks! With a three-week trip planned, I was worried… … Read More »
