First in line on Thursday 21 April was local journalist Shona Aylward from the South Coast Herald. She was joined by boyfriend Mark Lawlor, Owner at Superbodies Port Shepstone, and together they faced the #WildSlide where they experienced solitary bliss! Sliding along the cable that spans across Oribi Gorge, 165m above the treetops the couple faced their fears all in an effort to raise much needed funds for charity!
“Mark and I loved every minute of the #Wild5CharityChallenge. It was an exciting challenge as we both have a fear for heights, but we chose to face them head on for charity. The Wild Slide was a great experience as it gave us the opportunity to take in the breathtaking panoramic views of the gorge while hanging some 165 metres from the ground. The team at Wild 5 Adventures couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating. Thank you for having chosen us as your first couple to take part in this wild adventure. It was also a fantastic mid-week escape” said Shona.
It was clear that both Shona and Mark had an all-round spectacular time. We believe if this is a taste of what is to come from the charity jump challenge, we are in store for an incredible time!
Shona has invited Sugan Naidoo, fellow journalist, for all of the amazing work that he does within our South Coast community to take part and do his bit for charity. “He truly has a very kind heart” Shona explained.

Awesome KZN! - (#ILoveSA Ep. 10)
The deep valley of the Umzimkulwana River is one of the most spectacularly scenic areas of Kwazulu-Natal. Known as the Oribi Gorge, this haven for nature lovers and thrill seekers is located just over 20 km inland from Port Shepstone, on the Natal South Coast
The wild 5 adventures have loads of activities from Abseiling to white water rafting but what interested us was the Wild Swing!
The suspension bridge is also popular, it has a a magnificent view although if you are scared of heights this might not be for you.
Last stop was the leopards rock restaurant which overlooks the umzimkulu river and is a relaxing spot to have lunch and do some bird watching.

MixFM Michael Catterson
We were honoured to welcome the Mix 93.8FM team to take part in the renowned and much feared Wild Gorge Swing activity as part of #Wild5CharityChallenge on Saturday 16 July! The swing is a death defying leap off of the cliff edge of Lehr Fall at Oribi Gorge, which drops a terrifying 165 meters and reaches speeds of 120km/h in a mind blowing 2.5 seconds!
After broadcasting live from the 2016 Lion Show at the Port Shepstone Country Club, the Mix 93.8FM team took to the roads to do their bit for local South Coast charity. Arriving with full strength, lots of enthusiasm and excitement, each of the members took their leap of faith… One by one…
Innocent Makoni (Technical & Charity Organiser) set the team up for the challenge. Having done so, it was only fair that he went first! Being a true adventure seeker and adrenaline junkie at heart he did not show the slightest sign of fear or hesitation. This helped put his fellow colleagues at ease.
Once he was strapped in and had his safety harness on, he was ready to go and boy did he go! As the countdown to jump reached 1 he fearlessly launched himself off of the edge, hands first and smiling all the way! This heroic jump set the bar for his coworkers that were to follow.
Watching how easy this was for Innocent, Fefe Madileng (Technical & Charity Organiser) stepped up to the plate! Knowing that Innocent set the bar pretty high with his fearless and impressive jump, Fefe embraced it and leaped off of the edge like a soaring eagle. What an awesome jump it was!
Unlike Innocent and Fefe, Michael Catterson (Presenter 7-10am show) was extremely nervous expressing that he has a longstanding fear of heights. But he was not going to let this get in his way of doing his part for charity. Surprisingly once harnessed up, his nerves seemed to settle and a sense of coolness came over him. He truly summoned his courage to do the ultimate leap of faith and did what he thought he would never do… EVER! JUMP OFF OF A CLIFF!
Once Michael completed his jump, it was time for the last Charity Jump of the day.
I am sure you have heard the saying ‘his bark is bigger than his bite’? Well that could not have been truer than in the case of Kudzayi Tiribabi AKA Kwaang (Programme Manager). He was 100% committed and showed no signs of any fear on the way to Wild 5 Adventures. But the moment we arrived and he saw the jumps taking place, he quickly changed his mind. Thankfully the Mix 93.8FM team were on hand to encourage him and add a little peer pressure! On the first count down, Kwaang froze. We were not going to let him out that easily so a second countdown started and with a small encouraging nudge he went screaming down the Gorge, and he DID IT!
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire Mix 93.8FM team for their participation. You have all earned your bragging rights and our thanks and respect. We look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Video 3 of SOUTH AFRICA:
We hired a car in Cape Town and started our road trip which ends in Johannesburg. In this video, we show the last stretch of our South African journey which starts in East London, passing through Port Shepstone, St Lucia, Nelspruit, Kruger Safari and then, unfortunately, Johannesburg only because that's where we leave this beautiful country.
Here are some of the highlights of our adventure. The restaurants and accommodations that i have written about, are the ones we highly recommend, which I hope will help you plan your own trip through South Africa.
East London:
After driving 3.5 hours from Port Elizabeth to East London, it was time to have lunch and we were very lucky to find the perfect place on arrival.
Pinecreek farmstall restaurant:
Huge playground for the kids, ideal after a long drive. We had a great lunch and ended staying there for a few hours for the kid's enjoyment. They travel very well in the car so its a well-deserved break afterwards and we could sit in the restaurant comfortably, watching them and also the wild baboons happily jumping off the trees and occasionally pinching something to eat from guests who had left the table but also left some food. They have a fabulous Farmshop and friendly staff.
We then headed to our accommodation.
Accommodation:
We had a one night stop over in a fabulous guest house in East London, With an enormous garden with a river at the end, the video does it no justice. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable, a jacuzzi bath and a fully equipped kitchen so i could cook, which saves us money too. The owners of mackenzie’s accommodation, gave us the best advice for our next stretch of road, which a lot of people had warned us to be careful. We did not have any problems but we certainly did not drive at night. We were very thankful of the information where to stop for petrol and to sleep, as that took some worry away from us.

This was our favourite accommodation in South Africa. You may notice from this video as a large part of it is taken here. It felt like our home for a few days. Fabulous kitchen, so again i was able to cook. There were Springboks jumping around the garden. Buffalos in field beside.
St lucia Estuary is the home of hippopotamus and crocodiles. We took a boat trip out on the Estuary, organised by our accommodation. It was incredible to float past them, just enjoying their habitat together.

THE BIG 5
I do not need to say how amazing the Safari was i am sure…….this was a dream of mine since a young child. We saw the big 5 just mind blowing, had two days of safari tours, one early morning (3hrs) and one night (3hrs) which was enough for the kids. We stayed 5 days at Kruger Safari and could even enjoy watching the animals from the comfort of our hotel as it was right beside the park fence. We had a Zebra that would visit us, the same time every night to enjoy some grass around the swimming pool. It is terrible when you start to realise that you are finding it just normal that a Zebra is beside you.
