Zusammenfassung des Sardinenlaufs,
Die Sardinenwanderung ist die größte Tierwanderung der Welt. Die Sardinenmigration ist ein völlig wildes, unvorhersehbares Ereignis. Wenn alles zusammenkommt, wie es drei Monate im Jahr der Fall ist, ist der Sardinenlauf das spektakulärste Tierschauspiel der Welt; Delfine, Robben und Wale peitschen die Meeresoberfläche in Schaumkronen, Tausende von Vögeln tauchen ab, Wale springen durch Schwärme, die die Sardinen verstreuen. Es ist eine Zwielichtzone, in der die Zeit stillsteht und bedeutungslos wird, während Sie Zeuge dieses erstaunlichen Spiels von Leben und Tod werden, das sich entfaltet.
Wenn Sie auf der Suche nach einem echten afrikanischen Erlebnis und Abenteuertauchen vom Feinsten sind, wird der Wild Coast Sardine Run Sie nicht enttäuschen!
