"I am so happy I could cry! Everyone deserves to see this."Michelle Garthforth Venter (Wild Ltd, TV program in conjunction with EuroZulu) |
| Turtle Tour Season (NOV-MARCH) allows our knowledgeable and very experienced guide, to take you on a magical and life changing experience, to watch one of natures most amazing circles of life the egg laying process of the leatherback and loggerhead sea turtles. These turtles' instinct is so amazing, to think that they are returning to their “place of birth”, after years at sea, to lay the next batch of eggs. These tours run after sunset because the turtles only come out the sea to lay their eggs after dark. |

| We collect you from your accommodation, and the tour duration is approximately 6 hrs, the reason for this is we do a night drive through the iSimangaliso Wetland Park (a World Heritage Site), in order to get to Cape Vidal and back. On these drives we often see leopard, hippo, buffalo, hyena and other antelopes. Once at Vidal we then get onto the beach where we drive 23km up the beach looking for our “secretive” turtles. The duration on the beach is approximately 4 hrs as we are only allowed to be on the beach 2 hrs before and 2 hrs after low tide. Sometime during the night we will stop and have a lovely dinner under the stars which includes a variety of cold meats and salad with drinks. |
