The ability to grow tourism in the Mount Elgon sector. The Bamasaaba are a group who live in eastern Uganda, Mbale and Sironko Districts, adjacent to Mt. Elgon at the Kenyan border. They migrated from Kenya and were the first people to inhabit the western and southwestern slopes of Mt. Elgon (known as Mt. Masaba by the locals). The area is considered the food-basket of Uganda and is also known for producing high-quality Arabica coffee, the main cash crop.

The symbol of the Order, a white eight-pointed cross on a black background is an international symbol of first aid and can be seen today emblazoned on the sides of ambulances and on the uniforms of its highly trained volunteers. It has remained unaltered through the centuries, as an enduring emblem of humanitarian care for almost 1000 years.

The modern Order of St John in England was granted a Royal Charter by Queen Victoria in 1888. King Charles III is currently the Sovereign head of the Order of St John.

In South Africa, St John is dedicated to improving the health, safety and quality of life of all people through the provision of first aid, community health training and various community projects. With a national footprint, 11 training centres and 12 eye care clinics are operated by passionate people who care for and serve their local communities.

The Order of St John is based at Glenshiel in Westcliff, one of Johannesburg’s great historic homes, designed by Sir Herbert Baker and Frank Fleming and built in 1910 for mining magnate Sir William Dalrymple and his wife Lady Isabel. In 1943 Major Gordon Haggie acquired the property for the purpose of an auxiliary military hospital for convalescent orthopaedic patients during World War II. In 1950 under the auspices of the Haggie Trust, Glenshiel was lent in perpetuity to the Order of St John to be used as the National Headquarters of the Priory for South Africa. The Glenshiel estate was declared a national Monument in 1979.

In addition to weddings, birthday celebrations, chamber music recitals and similar functions, the Order of St John has, since 2009, been hosting an annual fair in October each year to raise funds for specific projects as well as the maintenance of the Glenshiel property. The fair has grown substantially over this period and now attracts 4,000 visitors over the 4½ days. Westcliff and the surrounding suburbs are home to affluent residents who support the aims of the Order of St John and donate generously through the purchase of entry tickets and raffle tickets. The fair hosts ± 85 vendors who sell items ranging from jewellery to designer clothes and cashmere, leather goods to fragrances, décor to children’s toys, traditional Christmas cakes, even pool accessories and plants. The food and bar services are very popular and encourage visitors to relax and linger and enjoy the beautiful property.

On the morning of May 10th, at an altitude of 6,405 meters, the team achieved their ambitious goal. They surpassed the previous record of 6,370 meters set by Australian Dan Bull in the Andes Mountains in South America, thus shifting the highest swim record to a new continent under challenging conditions— a testament to the indomitable human spirit.

Jean Craven, expedition leader and founder of Madswimmer, noted that the trek to the swim site was the most arduous part of the journey. Following three flights and a nerve-wracking 17-hour Jeep ride along steep cliffs, the team embarked on a 138km uphill trek that lasted 15 days. With the aid of eighteen sherpas and a caravan of 35 donkeys and yaks, they transported over a ton of equipment and supplies essential for their survival. They faced harsh icy conditions, battling wind and snow, and navigated treacherously near crevasses that threatened to collapse beneath them.

Describing the swim, Jean recounted, “The last accessible liquid (swimming) water was found at 4,900 meters. To achieve a world record, we needed to venture higher and create a suitable swimming environment at 6,405 meters. We carved out a swimming hole in the ice and melted ice in large drums that preserved the liquid water overnight. The swimming hole was covered under a tent canvas to prevent refreezing at night. The next morning, we removed the canvas, filled the ice hole with the liquid water we preserved, and took turns swimming in it for about three minutes each, wearing Speedos only. The water was chillingly cold at 3.7 degrees Celsius, with the outside temperature at minus six.”

The expedition was conducted with a commitment to environmental stewardship. After their historic swim, the water was carefully returned to the mountain, where it refroze.

Dr. Chiara Baard, the team doctor, diligently monitored the members’ vital signs and general health throughout. Oxygen levels were measured in the morning and again at night and it was interesting observing how sleep aided their acclimatization overnight. Despite most team members lacking experience in high-altitude climbing, none suffered severe shortness of breath or other altitude symptoms. Three members took medication to facilitate acclimatization, which was discontinued as they began their descent. Post-swim, everyone was warmed in heated tents, dressed in warm clothes covered with hot water bottles, ensuring their bodies recovered well from the extreme cold.

The team emphasized that their expedition aimed to witness and document the impacts of climate change. They encountered alarming signs, like running water appearing nearly 5,000 meters above sea level. The solid ice is crucial for binding the soil in these frigid zones. The melting of it threatens devastating land and mudslides that could obliterate communities. With global awareness campaigns initiated by Nepalese tourism and the vivid documentation by Madswimmer, the team hopes to spark meaningful discussions and highlight the urgent need to address climate change.

“It’s Housekeeping, may I come in please?”
“How can I order Uber?”
“Where is the nearest Bureaux de Change?”
“Is it safe to go out for a walk right now?
These questions are answered all in a day’s work for EHC-trained staff. Francine, who has worked in all grades of hotels up to 5-star, speaks easily about her plain hardwork and ambition-filled journey to date.
