Umzimkulu Barge ride pics

Umzimkulu Barge ride pics of ourĀ recent epic voyage…

April weather is super nice for boating down on the KZN south coast. The water in the Umzimkulu Estuary has cleaned up well. The fish are jumping. So…

“Warm days cruising up and down the river with the soundtrack a mingling of acoustic guitar and crooning fish eagles.”

The cruises come in different packages that can include drinks, snacks or a full seafood feast. The boat is licensed to carry 17 including skipper and gillie – leaving 15 berths available.

Corporate functions have been a blast every time they are held on the boat. Birthdays. Anniversaries. Even weddings can be handled –Ā in association with The Umzimkulu Marina in Port Shepstone.

The trips are completely safe, we stay in the river at all times. Lifejackets and qualified personnel.

Call Sean on 079 326 9671 or email umzimkulu for more information and pricing possibilities.

Diving With Sharks!

Diving With Sharks!

Diving With Sharks! Debbie Smith aka The Shark Lady, has recently launched her brand new website and online campaign at http://divingwithsharks.co.za.

Incredible imagery leads to Debbie’s underwater options – the current favourite being The Sardine Run as we move into the sardine migration season – when they swim up the East Coast of Africa.

Millions of sardines head north on a kamikaze mission as they are hammered to pieces by all kinds of underwater predators. Dolphins. Seals. Gannets. Whales. And sharks. Plenty!

The Sardine Run trips by Diving With Sharks, in association with Offshore Africa Port St. Johns, are run from out of the Uzmzimvubu River on the Transkei Wild Coast. Rob Nettleton and Debbie Smith have been operating in this area – the best place to get to the sardine shoals and baitballs, as they come up from the southern ocean, for a decade now.

Diving With Sharks also operate up north in KZN waters – Aliwal Shoal and Protea Reef being hot spots, and where Debbie learned her skills as shark tamer. That’s her in the picture below! Note how Debbie holds her hands and arms close to her body – less to bite onto for the odd curious shark, that come in so close.

Click on over to Diving With Ā Sharks for more info or to book a Sardine Run experience – accommodation and all, with Debbie and Rob.

A taste of what can be found on http://divingwithsharks.co.za

Casa na Duna in Praia do Tofinho accommodation

Casa na Duna in Praia do Tofinho accommodation

Casa na Duna in Praia do Tofinho has been open for accommodation since last year, and has been hosting travellers in style.

The view is straight up the barrelĀ of the famed Tofinho Point – surf accommodation at it’s very best. Ranking right up there with J-Bay Surf View!

The warm water, great fishing, surfing and diving is what Mozambican holidays to Inhambane area are all about. Days go on forever and a siesta on the hammock overlooking The Dragon (the other really good but temperamental surf spot that breaks over shallow reef – high tide only), is part of the plan.

Evenings in and around Tofo mean sidewalk restaurants and bars, music kaleidoscopes, beach parties and howling at the full moon parties.

More about Casa na Duna can be found right here.
