We have about 3 weeks to go before our adventure kicks off in Mozambique, but if you tell me to grab my passport and head to the airport today, my response would be “give me 42 minutes to get home to grab my bags”. Strange as that sounds, my bags are packed and I am ready. I have often stopped and asked myself if I am just really prepared or if I am slightly paranoid. Read More »

SHARKS! The spectacular Protea Banks must be experienced to be believed and on this tour we have been treated to Protea Banks at its finest. The first day and our baited dive brought a 4m Tiger shark and five Bull sharks.
