CLIVE MYRIE TRAVELS TO AFRICA FOR LATEST BBC ADVENTURE SERIES

Clive Myrie is back in another thrilling travelogue which will see him travel Africa. This 10x30 series will see Clive travel to Morocco, South Africa, Nigeria and Ghana to experience the array of African culture across the continent, from food, fashion, football, art and everything in between.

In Morocco Clive will be riding with the Arab world's first all-female motorcycle group, playing with the kids of Juventus football academy, and will stay with a British writer who traded UK city life to move to Casablanca with his family to renovate a Moroccan mansion.

He will also travel the Atlas Mountains staying in an eco-lodge and learning how Argan Oil is harvested. He has a go at creating some of Morocco's famous tile art for himself and visiting beautiful riads that are covered with it.

As always Clive will taste the local cuisine, and try his hand at cooking with the chef of one of Morocco's first fine dining restaurants, cooking lamb in the ancient medina. The question is, will we see Clive on a camel?

In Tangier Clive will be getting out his blowtorch in the souk to create his own version of Morocco's famous lanterns and meeting the Moroccan designer who is reviving the art of the Kaftan. Outside the city he'll be heading to a mountain village to play with the country's most famous Sufi musician and his band and will be visiting a cheese farm.

In Nigeria, Clive’s passion for football continues as he joins coach Babaunde’s football academy, joining in with some training drills and finds out how he combines giving the kids hoop dreams with making sure they do their homework.

Clive will also explore Nigerian music and food, uncovering that Chinese-Nigerian food is a new fusion also on the rise. Nigerian parties, known as "Owambe," are famous for their elaborate food spreads and grand festivities so Clive will get stuck in during the preparations.

Clive’s South Africa plans include helping to create some of Soweto’s famous murals and experiencing the rhythms of Amapiano as he travels through Johannesburg, Durban, Capetown and the spectacular countryside and coast that surround them.

He’ll be put to work in vineyards, conservation centres and fruit farms, discover the secrets of South African Wine and challenge himself on the rugby pitch and in surf school.

Clive will try to squeeze in time to meet old colleagues from his time working in South Africa, to get an inside view on how the country’s changed. He’ll also delve into the tastes of this vibrant nation - from rolling up his sleeves and cooking Cape Malay style, to mastering the art of the braai BBQ.

Ghana offers Clive a chance to explore even more of his family’s roots. He learns of the contemporary West African life in Accra, then heads to Cape Coast where his family history comes alive. Clive visits the Cape Coast Fort from which tens of thousands of people from across West Africa were transported to the Americas and the Caribbean. He’ll take part in a ceremony to the ancestors with a chance to take on a Ghanaian name.

Clive comments: “I was based in Johannesburg working for the BBC more than 20 years ago. It's such an exciting, culturally rich and diverse Continent and I've always wanted to come back to explore it more deeply. So in this series I'm travelling from the tip to the toe of this amazing part of the world.”

Muslim Alim, Commissioning Editor for BBC Daytime comments, “Clive’s previous adventures have been a huge hit with viewers, so we can’t wait to share his latest travels, as he journeys from the tip to toe of Africa. And as he uncovers the continent’s extraordinary history, culture and cuisine, he’ll also explore his own personal connections to Ghana and Nigeria.”

Emma Parkins Executive Producer for Alleycats TV comments, “We're really delighted to take Clive's Adventure to Africa - a continent with far more varied and exciting stories to tell than we generally see on on TV - it's great to be able to offer the BBC audience such a fresh and exciting travelogue series.”

Clive Myrie’s African Adventures will be coming to BBC Two and iPlayer in 2026.
