BBC Two - Indian Ocean with Simon Reeve, South Africa to Zanzibar

Simon visits South Africa, Mozambique and Zanzibar, swimming with sharks on the way.

Simon Reeve travels around the edge of the Indian Ocean. This first leg of his journey takes him from South Africa to Mozambique, and on to Zanzibar.

In this six-part series, Simon Reeve travels around the edge of the Indian Ocean in an epic and exotic journey that takes him from the paradise islands of the Maldives to the front line of the war against piracy and terror on the streets of Mogadishu. 

This first leg takes him from the rugged coast of South Africa, where he joins the fight against wildlife poachers, through Mozambique, and on to the tropical island of Zanzibar. On the way, he swims with sharks, meets the refugees who have found shelter in a luxury beachfront hotel, and travels on a huge container ship fortified against the constant threat of pirates.
