South Africa – Maloti-Drakensberg Park
Simon Coyle enjoys an action-packed week in the beautiful South African coastal province of KwaZulu-Natal.
Looking out the cage into the deep blue sea a shark emerges from the murky depths.
The creature’s grey skin shimmers in the water with its beady white eyes seemingly fixated on me.
It gets closer and within seconds I am face-to-face with the two metre long predator.
More swim towards me and before I know it a dozen others are now circling the cage.
While my heart is racing, the initial terror soon gives way to awe as the black tip sharks majestically glide around me.
A terrifying, but absolutely exhilarating half-an-hour, it is one of the many reasons why South Africa is just simply breathaking.
