Join our Patreon Group @ Sibaya – Sodwana Bay

By Sodwana Bay

 Have you heard about our exciting new Patreon Page. Become a Patron? So the story goes like this, we have been visiting Sodwana a couple times a year for the last 2 years. We fell in love with the ocean, the gorgeous live stock that can roam free and the secluded, isolated, rural, rusticness and quietness of the whole place. In these last 2 years of wanting to move to the coast we have been watching a lot of traveler Vloggers and small townies that just make normal videos about their everyday lives down by the beach. This really inspired us to start saving and preparing to make that leap of faith. Most of our friends and family know how hard we have worked on our websites and in Pretoria to get where we are today, and we thank everybody who has helped us so far on our journey. We were blessed enough to be able to watch these travel vloggers, especially been able to spend the hours of data to watch each and every video and that’s how we were able to stumble upon Patreon. I haven’t done much research into it myself yet. But I know enough that we can add special and exclusive content on our account and people that are on there are willing to help sponsor and grow the people they subscribe to. So I am asking that you guys subscribe to our Patreon group, to find exclusive galleries, articles and videos that we will not be posting on Sodwana Bay Information. We will also be adding some exclusive products that will be up for grabs. Subscribe on Youtube? Become a Patron? Please subscribe to our YouTube Channel, follow our blogs and maybe even subscribe to our Patreon group to watch our journey grow into a super awesome and Exciting Adventure…

The shy one was sighted – Thread-Fin Butterfly @ Sodwana Bay

By Sodwana Bay

Everybody who has ever snorkeled or dived and tried to take a video or pic of a butterfly fish knows how hard that can be. Its rare enough to actually find a butterfly fish, especially in rocky reef areas, where they usually live. We have only spotted the raccoon butterfly fish a hand full of times and even more rarely been able to capture it on camera. But this time instead of finding the more common raccoon butterfly fish, we spotted a new kind of Butterfly – The Thread-fin Butterfly fish. They might be a bit more of a common variety but this is the first one we have ever seen in Sodwana Bay’s Waters. They usually swim in pairs and like any other butterfly are very elusive and wary of everything. Research suggests that they usually swim in pairs and are monogamous (Stick to one partner), although they will choose a new partner in crime if one should die. Sounds like most humans… This one unfortunately did not have a partner, which would suggest it is either still to young or hasn’t chosen a life partner yet. Thread-fin’s can grow up to 23 cm(9in) long and lives in water depths of 1 – 35m (3-115ft) deep. Fun fact they also darken their colors and night. No-one knows why.

Sodwana Bay January 2019 @ Sibaya – Sodwana Bay

By Sodwana Bay

  The change to our souls… Took a while to get this finished – whohooooo finally it is done! Yes, it took a whole year but we still sharing… hope you enjoy!     This was our holiday trip from January 2019 @ Sodwana Bay. Honestly thinking back on it now, I would say this was the breakthrough point for us, we got engaged (unfortunately was to excited for the camera to catch anything), we missed our dog and cat a lot and hated going on vacation without them… Then there was the biggest problem of all, we were 600km away from the sea when we go back home. We were real unhappy and over worked. We knew it was time for change and it was welcomed! So, we made a pact – We were gonna work as hard as humanly possible, save up as much as we can and move to Sodwana Bay with in that year. We also promised our animals that we won’t go to Sodwana if they can’t go with – as Im writing this they are all around us – living in Sodwana Bay… Whooohoooo! Although this video took a year to create I think it was uploaded at the perfect time and in the right environment… at Sodwana Bay! So thanks for all the friends, family and Clients who have supported us in our dream coming true… Follow our Adventures?

Activity – Snorkeling @ Sibaya – Sodwana Bay

By Sodwana Bay

Experience the great reefs in Sodwana Bay. We have had first hand experience in snorkeling on the rocky reefs of Sodwana Bay. Although on first glimpse of swimming around in rock pools it will seem as if there are absolutely no fish in the water. This is not true,  although the water is a beautiful deep dark blue on the surface on a calm weathered day you will find that the water is quite clear underneath the surface, with plenty of fish, some fish are more common than others , but rest assured when swimming under the water you will think you are been transported to another world. If you are lucky you might catch a few eels hiding in rock crevices or coral, or even small manta rays, 0r like us we were lucky enough to find a rare spotting of a Marbled Electric Ray (Check out the Video below:) This was by far my favorite siting of all the times we have been to Sodwana Bay. But beware of getting to close to it, they can pack a nasty electrical punch if feeling threatened. Although we didn’t know this the moment we saw it. Well apparently it didn’t feel too threatened by us, cause it didn’t try attacking us. If you have any exotic or rare videos you would like to share send us an email with a link and description and your video could be uploaded on our Website.
