In search of a wild start to the day, we found ourselves heading toward Oribi Nature Reserve, where the World's HIGHEST Gorge Swing can be found. 70 metres of freefall in just under 2.5 seconds... an intense experience.

The feeling of knowing fear, and conquering it is a heady one. The beauty of the 100 m deep gorge that we swung into left us feeling both inspired and awed.

And so our journey onwards continued...

The scenery on our drive today was some of the most beautiful we have ever seen. Things that movies are made of. The endless fields dotted only by the circular huts so typical of this area... the goats slowly meandering along the dusty roads, and the striking beauty of the african sunset.

We also stopped along our way in Mthata, home of the Nelson Mandela "Long Walk to Freedom" Museum.

A fantastic museum with spine-chilling revelations of all that Nelson Mandela had to endure during his years of struggle.

A touching tribute to an amazing person... whose quotes never cease to amaze when one considers all that he has been through. Well worth a visit!

We also made our way through to Qunu, home-town of Nelson Mandela... also the town where he still currently chooses to spend the majority of his time when not in Johannesburg.

To see how he grew up in a small village, and be waved at by children as we drove through, was a touching experience. A great man...despite humble beginnings.

A visit to the Youth Heritage Centre in Qunu completed our activities for the day...
