South Africa Tourism is searching for an Adventure Ambassador to experience the thrills that the country has to offer and tell the world about them. The winner of the competition will go all around the state, trekking, tracking, bungee jumping, canoeing, diving and ballooning - among other things.

During the trip they'll be broadcasting their experiences via multimedia platforms, and on their return to the UK they'll be expected to give a talk about their travels to an audience in Central London. 

People wishing to enter can do so for free - you don't even need to have been to South Africa before. All you need is a love of pushing yourself to the limits and getting out there.
