What You Haven’t Seen of Africa

Off the Beaten Path · Season 9 · Episode 25
Africa is a continent rich in biodiversity and diverse cultures, often called the cradle of humanity. Its untamed and wild nature makes it an extraordinary travel destination.

Our journey begins on the west coast of Cape Verde’s Boa Vista, where we’ll taste fresh seafood. In Ghana, we’ll learn how to prepare the national dish, fufu, a staple of everyday life. In Uganda, our guide Biba will introduce us to chicken cooked in banana leaves, and we’ll visit a marginalized community in Burundi.

We’ll also head to Kenya for a delicious local breakfast prepared by women from the community, experience the exotic side of Zambia at a crocodile farm, and finish on Réunion Island, where we’ll learn how to make flavoured rhum arrangé.
