South Africa is one of the finest destinations in the world marine watching holidays. Whether watching from land or from boats you can expect to see sights such as the amazing southern right and humpback whales and vast pods of dolphins all year round.

If its particular whale watching that you wanted to do whilst on holiday in Africa, you will not be disappointed. Every year, in June, southern right whales migrate from the icy feeding grounds off Antarctica to the much warmer climates that South Africa has to offer.

The best time for watching the southern right whale in South African seas is from the months of June through to November, and the best location is along the Cape south coast, although some may already be as far north as KwaZulu-Natal. The Peak calving season for the Whales is July and August, but whales can be seen through September and October as well.
