It's episode 4 of Bakkie Stories, following our epic road-trip through South Africa and today our team brave the warm waters of KwaZulu-Natal province for a once in a lifetime experience, cage-diving with sharks! Few things compare to the adrenaline rush and exhilaration when our team come face-to-face with these uber-predators in their natural environment. This area of South Africa is famed not only for its Blacktip, Dusky and Spinner sharks, but also the occasional Tiger shark too. If shark-spotting wasn’t enough, Maya, Alice and Saunders were lucky enough to see pods of friendly dolphins and whales on their trip too!
