Watch this epic video for a taste of what you can expect from the Sardine Run, also known as the greatest shoal on earth!

At Wild 5 Adventures we are nature and wild life lovers at heart. We encourage everyone to come and witness the incredible sardine run at least once in their lives. If that’s not enough to get your heart racing then you can always come and take a leap of faith off the Oribi Gorge.

We’d like to start off by thanking Calvin Thompson Films for this truly incredible video.

The sardine run occurs from May through to July when billions of sardines – or more specifically the Southern African pilchard – spawn in the cool waters of the Agulhas Bank and move northward along the east coast of South Africa. Their sheer numbers create a feeding frenzy along the coastline. The run, containing millions of individual sardines, occurs when a current of cold water heads north from the Agulhas Bank up to Mozambique where it then leaves the coastline and goes further east into the Indian Ocean.
