The Real South Africa digs deep into the souls of three theatre actors and actresses of the Bitter Winter production. Interviewed on stage, it highlighted that our theatre needs more investment from arts and culture. Wonderful piece and worth watching.

We move up into Africa and visit with Dr Joshua Rokuno, Director of the Chimpanzee Trust who look after Ngamba Island and rescue chimps. It was all started by Jane Goodall and her good work continues through those who care. Fred Wejuli, Lodge Manager of Entebbe Forest Lodge shares with us what the lodge is all about being on the shores of Lake Victoria and in the heart of both a forest and a city! Uganda Coffee festival is taking off this year as we celebrate coffee at its best. Kruger Shelati is a unique train hotel that spans a river and with spectacular views and awesome luxury, it cannot be missed.
