Tropika Island of Treasure makes its triumphant return for an 11th season, this time against the stunning backdrop of Zanzibar.

The 11th season of Tropika Island of Treasure, on SABC 3, has star-stuffed entertainment. From left are, Karl Kugelmann, Nqobile Khwezi, Hungani Ndlovu, Ndavi Nokeri, Chad Jones, Roxy Burger and Bobby van Jaarsveld.

The beloved reality competition show is back on your screens, and the first 5 episodes have been nothing short of riveting. The show delivers star-studded entertainment, thrilling challenges, and the biggest prize in TIOT history: a shared R1 million and a brand-new Suzuki Jimny for the two members of the winning team.

Seven ordinary South Africans embark on the journey of a lifetime, trading their daily routines for the exotic island paradise.

Tropika Island of Treasure contestants are embarking on an adventure of a lifetime on the tropical island of Zanzibar. Pictured, from left are, Ryan Cummings, Dimakatso Calisa, Tazmin Mohamed, Tristan Naidoo, Gloria Ngcobo, Stacy Gossayn and Buntu Matshaya.

They are paired with and compete alongside an exciting line-up of celebrity contestants, TikToker extraordinaire Chad Jones, sports presenter Nqobile Khwezi, former Miss SA Ndavi Nokeri, heartthrob model Karl Kugelmann, actor Hungani Ndlovu, and TV sweetheart Roxy Burger as well as smooth serenader Bobby van Jaarsveld as they battle it out in a series of exhilarating physical and mental challenges.

Hosted by South Africa’s media darling, Zanele Potelwa, the new season of Tropika Island of Treasure is bigger and better than ever, with jaw-dropping challenges, unexpected twists and heart-warming moments.

The action has been intense on the show and some teams found their heads on the chopping block as they were eliminated from the competition. Team Pineapple (Chad Jones and Ryan Cummings) saw their demise in episode 3 after losing in the bow and arrow challenge while the journey came to an end for team Tropical (Nqobile Khwezi and Gloria Ngcobo) in episode 5 after coming last in the “Pole Pole” game. Team Mixed Berries are at the head of the leaderboard with Karl Kugelmann and Stacy Gossayn and are proving formidable.

Don’t miss the action at 7.30pm on Saturday November 2 on SABC 3 with repeats on SABC 1 at 9pm and streaming on SABC+.
