Protea Banks is the second main popular attraction for shark diving in South Africa. The situation here is quite similar to Aliwal Shoal. We have the same type of speedboat but we launch directly from the sea front.

An Exceptional Safari Destination in KwaZulu Natal

Nestled in the heart of the KwaZulu-Natal, the Nambiti Private Game Reserve offers a world-class safari experience. This 22,000-acre, malaria-free conservancy is home to the Big Five – lions, elephants, buffalo, rhinos, and leopards – as well as giraffes, cheetahs, hippos, and over 30 species of plains game.

The reserve’s rich biodiversity, featuring thornveld, acacia trees, and expansive grasslands reminiscent of Central Africa, creates an ideal haven for nature enthusiasts.

The reserve’s abundant water system, with perennial rivers and a striking waterfall along the Sundays River, attracts rare bird species, raptors, and vultures, enriching the diverse wildlife experience.

This extraordinary location promises an immersive, once-in-a-lifetime adventure in the heart of the African wilderness.

Enhance Your Sardine Run & African Sharks Trip

Adding the Nambiti Private Game Reserve to your Sardine Run & African Sharks trip will elevate the experience by offering a thrilling safari adventure alongside the awe-inspiring marine experiences of the Sardine Run and African shark diving.

With the Big Five, diverse wildlife, and breathtaking landscapes, the reserve provides a unique contrast to the underwater excitement, allowing you to immerse yourself in both land and sea environments.

This addition provides exceptional value, combining two of South Africa’s premier wildlife experiences—an unforgettable safari and exhilarating marine encounters—into one dynamic trip. It allows participants to experience the full spectrum of South Africa’s natural beauty, blending terrestrial and marine wildlife into a single, comprehensive itinerary.
