Oti Mabuse takes Richard Coles on a tour of her home country. They begin their journey in Oti's home province of Gauteng, where they meet fashion designer Sebo and make outfits celebrating African-patterned textiles. In Soweto, they have a go at the famously fast pantsula dancing, and Richard visits the rose garden of the botanical gardens. They head to the inspirational Drakensburg mountains for an unforgettable helicopter ride.

In the Western Cape, Oti and Richard take on one of the world's most dramatic roads and meet a community of African penguins. Richard gets a taste of Cape Malay culture, while on the dusty roads of the Weskus, there's a display of the Khoisan people's dance traditions. Finally, in the beach town of Paternoster, they sample some freshly caught crayfish.
