Whilst some people may do all they can to get out of the water when they see a Great White Shark, Phillip heads straight in because diving with one of the world's most dangerous predators has long been a bucket list dream for the TV presenter! To learn more about the sharks, Phillip travels to Gansbaai where he is fully briefed and kitted out in undersea equipment before stepping inside a cage to catch a glimpse of a Great White Shark in the wild. The couple also explore the city of Cape Town taking in the stunning scenery before stopping on their tour to have a drumming lesson. Taught by a djembe instructor, Phillip and Step join a group of drummers to see if they can learn the rhythms of the country.
Phillip Schofield's South African Adventure continues as he rides the cable car up to the top of Table Mountain and reveals the secrets of the wildlife that lives at the top. From the summit you can see Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated and Phillip shares the inspiration that kept Mandela's hope alive. He then plays daredevil by heading down the mountain via the world's highest commercial abseil before tasting the wine at South Africa's oldest vineyard. So old it's even mentioned in Sense and Sensibility.
Phillip Schofield has been lucky enough to travel the world but has never been on safari, until now. Together with wife Steph, the pair travel to a game reserve to try and catch a glimpse of their two favourite animals, giraffes and rhinos. After an early start the couple make their way into the heart of the reserve and Steph is reduced to tears as she sees a giraffe, up close for the first time.
