100 years old… and still chasing adrenaline. ✈️🦈

In the week of her 100th birthday, Georgina Harwood took on four incredible adventures — a tandem skydive with Skydive Cape Town, shark cage dive with Marine Dynamics Shark Tours, gyrocopter flight, and a trip up Table Mountain.

But this wasn’t just about thrill-seeking. She did it all to raise funds for the NSRI, proving that courage, generosity, and a sense of adventure don’t fade with age❤️

Her motto? “Do it now.”

Georgina’s story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to step out of your comfort zone and experience something extraordinary.

Did you know the famous Drakensberg Chain Ladders were installed all the way back in 1930? 😮

What started as a route for shepherds moving between the high 'Berg and the valleys below is now one of South Africa's most iconic hiking experiences — with around 8,000 people scaling them every year.

And the reward at the top is hard to beat: sweeping views of the Amphitheatre, the headwaters of the Thukela River, and a cascade that drops 948m — the highest multi-drop waterfall in the world.

Fiona McIntosh has written a brilliant short history of this grand old dame over on Dirty Boots. Well worth a read before your next Drakensberg adventure (or to plan one 👀).

Dirty Boots has partnered with Travel Marketing Experts South Africa to launch what we aim to establish as an annual Adventure Travel Workshop focused purely on the adventure sector.

This is a unique opportunity to meet 100 top travel buyers in one morning.

The workshop follows a structured round-robin format. You remain at your table while buyers rotate every 8 minutes, ensuring you engage directly with every attendee.

This platform has been designed to give adventure operators an affordable, convenient and highly targeted way to connect with:
• Tour Operators
• Registered Tour Guides
• DMCs
• MICE Planners
• Corporate & Team Building Buyers

As this is our inaugural event, exhibitor rates have been substantially discounted to encourage strong industry participation.

We’re calling on our members to support this initiative as we build a meaningful annual trade platform for the adventure industry in and around Cape Town.

To book a table, please contact Tammy Kruger at TME South Africa:

Let’s build something impactful for the adventure sector.
