The Whale Trail of South Africa by Allan Davie.

Whale-watching in South Africa—one of the most exciting activities in some of the most beautiful destinations in the world. The South African Whale Route stretches from Paternoster/Saldanha Bay on the West Coast (Atlantic), south around the Cape of Good Hope, and some 2,500 kilometres northeast to Kosi Bay in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park (St. Lucia), a World Heritage Site, just south of the Mozambican border on the Indian Ocean. This book offers visitors and enthusiasts all they need to know to plan a whale-watching trip-and will teach you the meaning of blowing, breaching, lobtailing, spy-hopping and grunting!
