South African Tourism Adventure or Romance Challenge on Celebrity Apprentice


Lil Jon and Marilu Henner collaborate on Celebrity Apprentice: Are You My Zulu Dancing Man?


Celebrity Apprentice Marilu Henner shares her Top 5 Experiences in South Africa.

5) Zipling

4) Food

3) Table Mountain

2) Shark Cage Diving

1) People

It was great to watch Celebrity Apprentice showcase South Africa. The challenge was to create an interactive travel expo on a romance or adventure theme.  Lil Jon of Team Power chose the adventure experience because safaris come to mind when thinking of adventure travel to South Africa. Lil Jon who had previously toured South Africa was surprised to learn that safari was not on the list. They had the difficult task of making an interactive travel expo to showcase zipling, shark cage diving, glamping, golfing and surfing.



Penn Jilette lead his team Plan B on the task of creating a romance travel expo. They invited Zulu Dancers, displayed the food and wine of South Africa. They also added a spa experience and a visual tour of the beautiful country of South Africa.


Which South African Tourism experience do you prefer Team Power - Adventure Experience or Team Plan B Romance Experience?
