"It's not something we were used to or would consider doing. "At first we really hesitated with the whole naked part of the show," Amber says.

While the Shines, the only Kiwis to have starred in the series, were initially reluctant about appearing on TV nude, their appetites for adventure trumped their anxiety. Aired on the Discovery Channel, the show sees contestants – usually two total strangers – fight for their lives in some of the world's toughest environments with no food or water and just one item of their own choosing to aid them. The sisters were invited to take on the extreme survival challenge by the makers of American reality TV show Naked and Afraid.
Naked And Afraid is one of the most extreme survivor-style reality shows around.īut they describe their latest escapade – spending 21 days in the wilds of South Africa's Limpopo province stark naked and with nothing but a machete and bow and arrow to hunt for food and fend off predators – as their biggest challenge yet. The Shines, who describe themselves as "typical Kiwi country girls with an extreme love of the outdoors", have long been hardcore adventurers. Between them, they have scaled North Africa's highest mountain (in Serena's case just nine months after breaking her back in two places), crossed "crazy seas" on a 25-day voyage from Hawaii to San Francisco in a small sailboat, entered the world's highest marathon "by fluke", climbed mounts Cook and Everest, raced a dogsled for 322 kilometres through the US state of Oregon, and climbed trees with howler monkeys in the Amazon.
"The adrenaline kept us awake for the rest of the long night." Still waving their makeshift torches, they responded to the elephant's squeals and grunts with screams and, eventually, it backed off – although it continued tearing trees apart for the next hour or so. It got to within three metres of us and we thought, 'This might be it.' It felt as if it could almost reach us if it stretched out its trunk. "But to our shock and disbelief, it didn't even check its step! Just grunted and kept coming. Picking up flaming branches from the fire, the twins waved them around their heads in an attempt to look bigger and scarier. "We thought we had dodged a bullet until, to our horror, it came at us again from a different direction," Amber says. "This time it was much, much worse and we watched in the moon and firelight as it came closer and closer." Frozen in fear, the sisters held their breath as the clearly still agitated elephant continued to bash branches back and forth. The elephant got to within 20 metres of them before appearing to have a change of heart – or strategy – and veering off toward a nearby waterhole.
