Oceans Africa Showcases Mbotyi as Flagship Base for 2026 Sardine Run

CAPE TOWN, South Africa - Oct. 6, 2025 - PRLog -- Oceans Africa has positioned Mbotyi at the heart of its 2026 Sardine Run packages, confirming the remote Wild Coast village as one of the premier launch bases for the world-famous migration.

Each winter, billions of sardines migrate north along South Africa's coast, trailed by dolphins, sharks, whales, and seabirds in a spectacle often described as "the greatest shoal on earth." Oceans Africa's 8-night Mbotyi package has been created to give travelers the best possible access to this phenomenon, combining daily launches with microlight spotting support to track shoals more effectively.

Unlike mass tours, the Mbotyi experience is designed for small groups of no more than six guests per boat, ensuring comfort, agility, and an up-close connection to the action. Days at sea are balanced with afternoons that allow guests to explore rural South Africa, including village walks, hikes, and cultural encounters that support the local community.

"Mbotyi offers the rare combination of wild spectacle at sea and cultural depth on land," said a spokesperson for Oceans Africa. "This makes it not only one of the best Sardine Run bases, but also an enriching destination in its own right."

For Oceans Africa, focusing on Mbotyi reflects both its expertise and its values: responsible adventure travel, personal service, and community impact. The company has been guiding Sardine Run expeditions since 2008, with decades of local experience ensuring safety and maximized sightings.

Bookings for the Mbotyi Sardine Run 2026 package are now open. For details, visit the Mbotyi package page (https://www.oceansafrica.com/sardine-run-mbotyi/?utm_sour...) or contact Oceans Africa directly (https://www.oceansafrica.com/contact-us/).
