Having had the opportunity to witness the Sardine Run for the last couple of years, I can now understand why it is known as the “Greatest Shoal on Earth”. The Sardine Run is an absolute mind blowing experience.

The Sardine Run occurs between June and July when billions of Sardines spawn in the cool waters of the Agulas Bank and move northward along the east coast of South Africa followed closely by a squadron of sea birds, sharks, dolphins and fish all eager to feed on the abundance of food suddenly available to them.

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.
