This is an expedition like no other and we are super excited for the Sardine Run Mpame 2022!
Every year off the coast of South Africa, billions of sardine’s spawns in the cool waters of the Agulhas bank, and from there they usually split into thousands of shoals as they move northward along the east coast of South Africa.
With this immense amount of migrating fishes it attracts the oceans apex’s predators who work together to round up and get in on this feeding frenzy.

The typical and most talked about sardine run action consists of the shoals of sardine’s whether by themselves or with some sort of predator feeding on the bait ball of sardines. But the beauty of the sardine run to me is that you just never know what you are going to experience. Just being out on the boat for the day and taking in the beautiful Transkei coastline is completely under rated in my opinion. Other sightings on the boat which are always incredible to witness are the whales breaching, whales tail / fin slapping the surface, the massive super pods of dolphins moving past the boat and birds diving into the water to get their share of fish. This year there were multiple sightings of Orca’s / killer whales on the surface which was incredible. They don’t call this area the wild coast for nothing!
