Adventure

AROUND MADAGASCAR ON MY KAYAK
Riaan Manser

In the last five years Riaan Manser has re-written the definition of tenacity and become the epitome of determination.

Riaan rose to prominence when he became the first person to cycle around the entire perimeter of Africa. For over two years, he pedaled a mammoth 37,000 kms through 34 countries; some of which rank as the most dangerous places on Earth. It was a feat that earned him the title Adventurer of the Year 2006 and made his resulting book, Around Africa on my Bicycle, a bestseller.

ACHIEVING THE IMPOSSIBLE
Lewis Gordon Pugh

This is an inspiring and thrilling memoir of adventure and achievement from an internationally recognised endurance swimmer and ambassador for environmental awareness.

In July 2007, Lewis Gordon Pugh became the first person to swim at the North Pole, in temperatures that would kill a normal person, primarily to raise awareness of climate change.
