It\u2019s been quite a show. And the countdown has begun for the finale of the eleventh season of Tropika Island of Treasure: Zanzibar. We chat to contestants to find out what they suggest you take to an island holiday.<\/p>\n

Set in the dreamy paradise of Zanzibar, this season has served up everything we love \u2026 marvellous scenery, all kinds of rather extreme challenges \u2026 and, what\u2019s any good reality show without a splash of star power?<\/p>\n

Seven everyday South Africans jumped into this adventure headfirst, teaming up with celebs who brought their A-game to the island. Think Tiktoker extraordinaire Chad Jones, sports presenter Nqobile Khwezi, former Miss SA Ndavi Nokeri, heartthrob model Karl Kugelmann, actor Hungani Ndlovu, TV sweetheart Roxy Burger, and the every-smooth Bobby van Jaarsveld.<\/p>\n

In the past 10 weeks, the teams have faced it all. All kinds of tricky mental and physical challenges, which often triggered emotional outbursts which (to be honest) has kept us glued to the screen.<\/p>\n

And, dishing up the tea is none other than South Africa\u2019s media darling, Zanele Potelwa. With each passing episode, the stakes have climbed higher, and the challenges have gotten tougher. In fact, episode 10 hit us with a plot twist as the consumer contestants battled each other AND the celebs. (Just when we thought things couldn\u2019t get any more intense.)<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in it for the winning duo? Only the biggest prize in TIOT history \u2026 a shared R1 million and a brand-new Suzuki Jimny for both members. So, needless to say, we\u2019re on the edge of\u00a0\u00a0 our seats!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss the action-packed final episodes, airing every Saturday at 7.30pm on SABC 3, with repeats on SABC 1 at 9pm and streaming on SABC+. The season finale officially airing December 14.<\/p>\n

So, clear your Saturday night and tune in to the final episodes of Tropika Island of Treasure. The countdown is on \u2026 who\u2019s going to claim that treasure? Tune in and find out!<\/p>\n

We got the inside scoop from the contestants themselves on their must-have travel essentials. So, whether you\u2019re planning your own island escape or just love to know what the stars are toting along, here\u2019s what\u2019s on their lists.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Personal trainer and model Buntu Matshaya<\/strong> is all about capturing memories. So, a camera is an absolute essential for him. \u201cI\u2019ve got my eye on the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for those amazing beach shots and videos.\u201d<\/p>\n

TV host Roxy Burger\u2019s<\/strong> number one travel essential is a mini speaker. You just can\u2019t go wrong with amazing music by the beach \u2026 it\u2019s an instant vibe booster.<\/p>\n

Media influencer and dancer Chad Jones<\/strong> is taking his tripod. It\u2019s lightweight, easy to pack, and makes filming his dance videos a breeze wherever he goes.<\/p>\n

Boxer Tristen Naidoo<\/strong> never goes anywhere without a good fragrance. His current fave is Invictus by Paco Rabanne. It\u2019s fresh, addictive, and perfect for island vibes!<\/p>\n

Gloria Ngcobo<\/strong>, beacon of health and eco-conscious, is all about keeping healthy. \u2018My island essential is Biogen electrolyte tablets. Hydration is key in hot weather, and these keep me feeling my best from the inside out.\u2019\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Diagnostic radiographer Dimakatso Calisa<\/strong> always packs her Nike Swoosh high-support sports bra. It\u2019s comfortable, versatile, and breathable \u2026 perfect for the island climate and staying active without compromising style.<\/p>\n

Actor, dancer and DJ Hungani Ndlovu<\/strong> isn\u2019t going anywhere without his portable, rechargeable hand fan with a mister. It\u2019s a lifesaver in the heat, keeping him cool and refreshed no matter where they go.<\/p>\n

\"\"For model and beauty pageant titleholder Ndavi Nokeri<\/strong> it\u2019s a good book. Which she deems essential to unwind and reflect. Right now, she\u2019s reading Do the New You <\/em>by Steven Furtick. Perfect for some personal growth and getting inspired for what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n

Beauty and lifestyle content creator Stacy Gossayn<\/strong> will take a floating picnic set, because she just loves being in the water. And with a floating tray, she can enjoy lunch right in the shallows. Bliss!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
