Celebrity Apprentice Showcases South Africa: Are You My Zulu Dancing Man?

Celebrity Apprentice selected South Africa Tourism to judge a travel experience expo about "The Top 5" experiences of South Africa. The teams had a choice between Romance or Adventure experience. Lil Jon of Team Power choose the Adventure experience because he believed a safari would be the adventure experience. He was surprised to learn that safari was not on the list. Instead the adventure experience included glamping, surfing, golfing, zipling, and cage shark diving.

 Penn Gillette of Team Plan B  showcased South Africa's food, wine, sites and culture with Zulu Dancers. They even added a spa experience to the list.

I won't tell you who won the challenge. You have to watch the episode to see what happens. Click here to watch now.

My "Top 5" experiences in South Africa are  ziplinling, cage shark diving, spa, food and wine. Thanks to this challenge I view South Africa in a different light.

What are your "Top 5" experiences to do in South Africa?

I am joining in on the Traveling Brown Girls Blog Carnival hosted by my friend of +BrownGirlsFly.

Five Places I have Never Been

1. Tobago
I am a jazz lover so I am really excited about visiting Tobago for the Tobago Jazz Experience April 20 -28, 2013. I am so stoked that India Arie who will be performing in Tobago on April 28. 2013 liked my pinterest pin. Dionne Warwick and Melanie Fiona are also performing.

2. Tortola
A few years back I met a pilot in Miami who was flying home to Tortola. He shared with me his photos of his family and Tortola. This simple conversation created a desire in me to want to visit Tortola. So, I was excited to hear the news that there is an upcoming B.V.I. Music Festival being held in Tortola May 2013.

3. Spain
I discovered that Spain hosts a Black Music Festival. I found it interesting that Spain celebrates Black Music. I would love to experience that celebration in the Spanish culture.

4. South Africa
Recently in Lagos, Nigeria I attend a Naijazz event during Social Media Week Lagos. I had a sampling of Naijazz or Nigerian Jazz and loved it. I would love to attend the Naijazz Festival held in South Africa.

5. Montreal, Quebec Canada
I celebrated the Toronto 25th Jazz Festival
by seeing Return to Forever IV.
Last year I attended the Ottawa Jazz Festival with Janelle Monae, Trombone Shorty, Kevin Eubanks, Dave Holland. The Soul Rebels, Alain Toussaint and more. It was an intimate jazz festival but the creme de la creme of Canadian Jazz Festivals is the Montreal Jazz Festival. The Montreal
Jazz Festival is on my Jazz Festival bucket list.

So give me so great jazz music and warm weather. Those are great reasons for me to travel.
