  • Gansbaai (in lingua olandese e afrikaans, "baia delle oche"), a volte appellata Gans Bay o Gangs Bay, è una città di pescatori nonché una popolare destinazione turistica affacciata sulla baia di Walker nella municipalità distrettuale di Overberg, nella provincia del Capo Occidentale, in Sudafrica. È famosa per l'elevata presenza di squali bianchi nel tratto di mare ad essa prospiciente e per essere una frequentata località per l'osservazione delle balene. La principale attrazione turistica di Gansbaai è stata, a partire dal 1995 circa, l'immersione in gabbie tra esemplari di squalo bianco. Si ritiene che questa attrazione richiami il numero più elevato, dopo il parco nazionale Kruger, di turisti in Sudafrica, considerando le singole attività. (it)
