White Shark Projects offers adrenaline-filled activities in Gansbaai

White Shark Projects, located in Gansbaai in the Western Cape, is a world-renowned organisation that focuses on the conservation of a varied abundance of Southern African shark species.

While embracing responsible tourism and research in a safe and professional environment, White Shark Projects offers divers the opportunity to come up close to these beautiful creatures and to understand more about them.

Shark Cage Diving

As experts in their field, White Shark Projects have the highest quality facilities and resources to observe a variety of sharks and marine life within their natural environment.

Their team, with over five decades of experience between them, has been trained to the highest standards set by SAMSA, safety being their number one priority.

From the safety of the cage, divers can observe these beautiful underwater creatures, including The Great white, Bronze Whaler Shark and Seven Gill Cow Shark.

Passengers are limited to twenty per trip and each diver will have approximately 20 -30 minutes inside the cage with six divers at a time, with the opportunity of a second dive as well.

A three-hour trip for divers and non-divers alike includes a safety briefing, a light breakfast and lunch on return, as well as luxury showers and toilets with wheelchair accessibility.

All fully sterilized diving equipment is included. A marine biologist will be present on every trip to give a guided talk on the sharks seen on the trip.

A videographer will also be on board to record your dive experience and this will be available for purchase one week after your trip.

All proceeds from the video sales go back into White Shark Projects ongoing conservation, research and education initiatives. A portion of the proceeds of every dive also goes to one of their three registered NPO’s that as based around social upliftment and development.

White Sharks Projects Volunteer Program

Their volunteer program works with students, ecotourists, conservation organisations and marine resource users, and in collaboration with subsistence fishermen, sport divers and marine operators, to gather data on our various shark life.

Volunteers will be trained in white shark biology, research, behaviour, conservation and evolution, and are assured of hands-on experience in all aspect of seamanship, shark conservation and ecotourism.

Everything that White Sharks Projects do is aimed at harmony with nature and the environment.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities. We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa. Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation? Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose.

Expensive is not always better. Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday. They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice. A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday.

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance. Of these, service is the most important.

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion. However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review. We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience? The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table.

Well that’s our theory anyway. It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced. However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience. In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe. It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
