· 22nd July was an early start as graham and Seth were at rock lodge to pick us up very early at 5 am we left for sodwana bay beach which is one of the top surfing destinations in the world. We reached there in two hours and the seen out there was magnificent there are very large forested sand dunes very close to the beach and the beach itself is the cleanest beach I have ever come across we had plans to go snorkelling but since it was very cold we decided against it but we had a lovely time seeing the view of the beautiful beach and walking by the side of it specially on the rocks where there were pools of water and we could see some creatures from the sea, then we went on a high point from where we saw another lifer mammal i.e. the hump back whales!!! There were at least 5 of them and we could see them very clearly with our binoculars. After having a good time at the beach we got back and went on the assessment drive for one of the ranger felicity where we saw a herd of elephants in the water! And a lot white rhinos as well.
