When you speak to someone about Africa, you rarely speak about the phenomenal marine life that is on offer.<\/p>\n<p>Sub-Saharan Africa offers very good \u2018<a title=\"The Marine Big Five\" href=\"https:\/\/yellowzebrasafaris.com\/au\/inspiration\/wildlife\/the-marine-big-five\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marine Big Five<\/a>\u2019 game viewing \u2013 whales, sharks, dolphins, seals and penguins \u2013 and although specific areas are better suited for certain animals of the Big Five, it offers some of the best viewing in the whole world.<\/p>\n<p>I was lucky enough to finish my last trip to Africa with some time with whale sharks off the Tanzanian coastline. Whale sharks are the largest known extant fish species and grow up to 13m in length (there are unconfirmed reports that even larger whale sharks exist).\u00a0Now, I have travelled to Africa extensively, and I have been able to see the majority of animals you see on safari \u2013 but none of them compares with viewing five of these giants in just one morning. The experience for me matches that of seeing the gorillas in Rwanda \u2013 and anyone who has been lucky enough to do either, will not be able to explain just how special it is!<\/p>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n\n<div\n    id=\"wak-acf-block-812349\"\n    class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-spacer wak-pad-top-md wak-pad-bot-md wak-theme-light mobile-space-100 tablet-space-100 desktop-space-120\"\n    data-color-mode=\"light\"\n    data-theme=\"light\">\n<\/div>\n\n<div\n    id=\"wak-acf-block-582476\"\n    class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-standard-content wak-pad-top-md wak-pad-bot-md wak-theme-light wak-container\"\n    data-color-mode=\"light\"\n    data-theme=\"light\"    >\n\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-standard-content{align-items:center;display:flex;gap:80px;justify-content:space-between;transition:gap .25s ease 0s,padding .25s ease 0s}@media screen and (max-width:1280px){.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-standard-content{gap:24px}}@media screen and (max-width:768px){.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-standard-content{flex-direction:column}}.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-standard-content .wak-sc-content,.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-standard-content .wak-sc-img{flex:1;max-width:600px}@media screen and (max-width:768px){.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-standard-content .wak-sc-content,.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-standard-content .wak-sc-img{max-width:100%}}.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-standard-content .wak-sc-subtitle{color:var(--text-secondary)}.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-standard-content .wak-sc-content>:not(:first-child){margin-top:24px}.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-standard-content .wak-sc-img{aspect-ratio:1\/1;overflow:hidden}@media screen and (max-width:768px){.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-standard-content .wak-sc-img{display:none}}.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-standard-content .wak-sc-img__mobile{display:none}@media screen and (max-width:768px){.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-standard-content .wak-sc-img__mobile{display:block}}.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-standard-content .column--padded+.column--padded{margin-top:var(--spacing-md)}<\/style>    \n            <div class=\"wak-sc-img\">\n            \n<picture>\n    <source media=\"(max-width:575px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999914281\/45885_swimming_with_whale_shark_africa_yellow_zebra_safaris-scaled-345x345-f50_50.webp, https:\/\/yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999914281\/45885_swimming_with_whale_shark_africa_yellow_zebra_safaris-scaled-690x690-f50_50.webp 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(max-width:991px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999914281\/45885_swimming_with_whale_shark_africa_yellow_zebra_safaris-scaled-600x600-f50_50.webp, https:\/\/yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999914281\/45885_swimming_with_whale_shark_africa_yellow_zebra_safaris-scaled-1200x1200-f50_50.webp 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(min-width:992px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999914281\/45885_swimming_with_whale_shark_africa_yellow_zebra_safaris-scaled-600x600-f50_50.webp, https:\/\/yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999914281\/45885_swimming_with_whale_shark_africa_yellow_zebra_safaris-scaled-1200x1200-f50_50.webp 2x\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\"  data-src=\"https:\/\/yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999914281\/45885_swimming_with_whale_shark_africa_yellow_zebra_safaris-scaled-345x345-f50_50.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999914281\/45885_swimming_with_whale_shark_africa_yellow_zebra_safaris-scaled-345x345-f50_50.webp, https:\/\/yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999914281\/45885_swimming_with_whale_shark_africa_yellow_zebra_safaris-scaled-690x690-f50_50.webp 2x\" class=\"wak-radius-image lazyload\" alt=\"swimming with whale shark africa yellow zebra safaris\" width=\"345\" height=\"345\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 345px;
