Several areas are designated marine conservation zones such is the importance of the area to the local marine wildlife. Stunning coral reefs, lack of pollution and human interference and good sources of food lead to these areas becoming to home to some of the rarer species of marine wildlife such as whales, sharks, sailfish, swordfish, rays and dolphins.

• Mozambique has crystal clear warm water and is one of the best places in the world for scuba diving.  You will spot manta rays, stingrays and electric rays, various sharks including the enormous whale shark, all sorts of brightly coloured reef fish including clownfish, parrotfish and angelfish,  giant moray eels, and even tiny sea horses. There are also lots of green turtles and several types of dolphin inhabit this coastline and can be seen all year round. You can even see humpback whales in the second half of the year as they come to the warm waters to calve close to the shore.
• SouthAfrica is one of the best places for whale watching and dolphin spotting. You can even see whales from the shore as they come in so close especially in the months of September and October. In the town of Hermanus, there is even a town-crier who announces whale sightings! One of the most fascinating sights is the run of sardines where thousands of sardines pass close to the shore and become a feeding frenzy for larger fish, sharks and cetaceans. The other growing popular pastime is shark diving or cage diving. If you are brave enough you can go down into the water protected by a cage and watch sharks being fed just a few inches away from you.
• East Africa including the coastlines around Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar also provide good opportunities for diving and exploring the marine life of the coral reefs in the area. The waters are crystal clear, warm and full of beautiful tropical fish as well as rarer species such as rays of all kinds.  It is also a great place for the larger types of sport or game fish such as sailfish, tuna and swordfish.
