Hermanus Whale Festival is tracked as an evergreen event so the general guide stays stable while the year slide changes over time.
The year slide holds dates, place and practical questions in one compact view.
For nature events, the useful top-level view is season, route, habitat pressure and responsible viewing, not results.
- Season timing changes with rainfall and grass conditions.
- Good guides describe where the movement is likely, not a fixed arena.
- Archive notes should capture sightings, conservation context and visitor impact.
