Having launched on M-Net in November last year, Sarah Graham’s Food Safari was originally created as a multi-franchise TV format to showcase some of Africa’s most interesting and exciting food through the eyes of cookbook author and passionate foodie, Sarah Graham. Having grown up on a small game reserve in Zimbabwe, Sarah’s passion for food combines with a deep love for wildlife and nature, which in Season 1 saw her cooking and traveling her way across Zimbabwe, Zambia and South Africa in a 10-part series that featured 31 breath-taking locations.
Season 2 will reveal more of Sarah’s personal food story as she travels with her mobile kitchen from the endless beaches and warm azure seas of Mozambique’s coastline to the bustling and fragrant chaos of Maputo, before she heads back into South Africa through the lush coastal forest of St Lucia Bay and finally into the world famous wildlife preserves of the Kruger National Park.
Filmed by leading local TV Production Company, Okuhle Media, the crew of 19 (armed with 120 kg of camera equipment) set out from Cape Town earlier this month on a 32-day production schedule that will see the team cover a distance of 6656 kilometers and drive to the seaside towns of Tofo, Maputo, and Ponta do Ouro in Mozambique; before heading back into South Africa to film at various off-the-beaten-track bush-veld gems in the Kruger National Park that are also home to groundbreaking conservation and wildlife rehabilitation initiatives.
Okuhle Media’s Chief Creative Officer and Executive Producer Louise McClelland adds: “Together with Sarah, we’re proud to partner with M-Net on this original, home-grown TV Series, which, via our global distribution partners, has resonated with audiences around the world in territories that include the USA, Canada, Europe, India and the Middle East.”
