Allright mate, I visited family over there about ten years ago now though. We went on safari at a place called St Lucia check that out mate. Its a world heritage site we saw allsorts when we where other there it was brillant would love to go back my myself. Because of the world cup it is always going to be preety expensive for a while but should go back down shoon id expect. Another tip would be to go at christmas time to catch there good weather.

Is it great whites you want to see or just sharks? Might be able to help with sharks but not great whites?

 

I used to live on Zanzibar Island, Tanzania and my old man still does some of the year. I have a house out there still, stood empty. Theres not much hunting on the island (or wildlife) but its only a 20 min flight to the mainland where you can go to any of the big Tanzanian National Parks and there is plenty of fishing and some good diving and snorkelling.

 

I also have several masaii friends and stayed in their village in the bush. Its very basic, no electric, water from well, mud hut accomadation, 8 hour bus ride into the bush etc. Last time i was there they took me kudu hunting with an ancient muzzle loader, we tracked some and got close but not close enough to shoot. There are also wild pigs everywhere which they hunt alot although i never did. I might be able to hook you up with them too if you like?
