Northern Cape: SOUTH AFRICA TRAVEL

Stretching from the epicentre of South Africa to the wild, untamed West Coast of the continent and northwards to the Namibian desert lies the Northern Cape: A contrasting landscape of field upon field of brilliantly coloured wild flowers and age-old lava mountains interspersed with sandy plains and fertile green river valleys. The location of South Africa's diamond rush towns which sprung up during the last century in and around Kimberley as well as several Anglo/Boer war battle sites including the famous Magersfontein. The location of Southern Africa's largest mountain desert, the Richtersveld, which slopes down to the eerie mist-bound western coast, once the entrance point of pirates, renegades and adventurers. A Tekweni TV Production. http://www.satvchannel.com will help you to access the entire documentary.

Robben Island Cape Town Double Swim with Dolphins

Graham was accompained by a school of wild Dusky dolphins while completing this magic long distance endurance swim from Robben Island (the former prison of Global political icon Nelson Mandela) to Cape Town and back again (The Robben Island Double), one of only a handful of long distance swimmers to complete this particular swim. The swimming distance was approx 15km and it took place just off the south coast of South Africa in the cold, shark infested waters of the Atlantic Ocean, against the backdrop of Cape Towns most awesome Table Mountain. Time approximately 5 and a half hours. This swim has been recognised by the CLDSA Cape Long Distance Swimming Association of South Africa. This particular swim was recognised by various international news channels, including Carte Blanche, Africa's flagship magazine and actuality programme as an epic achievement, pushing human spirit and endurance to the limits. Graham was nominated by Out There Adventure Magazine as Out There Epic Adventurer of the year 2009 and quoted as 'having achieved one of the toughest extreme events in the world'. The first leg of the swim between Robben Island and Blaaubergstrand was completed with swimming companions Dr. Otto Thaning and James Saunders. The spontanious decision by Graham to turn around and complete the double swim 'carpe diem' resulted in the most awesome of human experiences. Completing this swim accompanied and 'pulled along' by such incredible animals truly was a magnificent experience, which touched those on the boat and reiterated for me the magnificence of our great oceans. At a critical stage of mental and physical exhaustion, five wild dusky dolphins swam side by side with me for about a mile, gently weaving their way under me, next to me and in front of me and it certainly felt like they were enjoying themselves. I completed the swim exhausted but exhilarated and have felt on a high ever since.
