Great opportunities to get close to wild animals in their natural environment in South Africa are safaris or whale watching tours.<\/p>\n

Every year from approximately June to November humpback whales migrate from their feeding grounds in the Antarctic to the North, passing the South African coast, to spend the winter in warmer waters around Mozambique. This is why South Africa is a hotspot for whale watchers.<\/p>\n

During the \u201cwhale season\u201d numerous whales migrate along the South African coast and whale watching in South Africa is possible at different places. While Bryde\u2019s whales are rather shy animals and difficult to observe, humpback whales and Southern right whales appear at the water surface quite frequently.<\/p>\n

One of their most spectacular behaviors is breaching. That is when a whale jumps out of the water, sometimes whirls around, to fall back into the water again. When a whale is spyhopping it moves its head up out of the water to look around. Sometimes whales slap there flippers (flippering) oder their flukes (lobtailing) onto the water surface.<\/p>\n

In this article I tell you where you can go for whale watching in South Africa.<\/p>\n

However, I do not claim to be complete. I\u2019m sure that there are many more places for whale watching in South Africa.<\/p>\n
