Nick found himself in the middle of the city’s street energy - food, noise, colour, people, movement - and somewhere between soaking up the atmosphere and pretending to be a man of the peo- ple, he decided he needed a football jersey.

5B AFRICA TOUR_ CÔTE D'IVOIRE BARTERING FOR A FOOTBALL JERSEY (12 MAY 26)

Once formally welcomed into the village, this episode moves deeper into the living culture of the Senufo people in northern Côte d’Ivoire, where tradition is not performed for visitors but protected through protocol, elders, sacred spaces, and customs that give the community its structure and meaning. Alongside these traditions comes a powerful lesson in everyday innovation, from traditional food storage and preservation systems to community knowledge passed down through generations. The journey then shifts into music — local greetings, translated conversations, village songs, rhythms, and traditional instruments that transform the experience from something you hear about into something you feel. More than a travel story, this episode is a reminder that culture is not something left behind by progress; sometimes it is the very rhythm carrying communities forward.

5B AFRICA TOUR - CÔTE D'IVOIRE - THE VILLAGE HAS ITS OWN OPERATING SYSTEM AND WHEN THE VILLAGE STARTS SPEAKING IN MUSIC

In this episode, my journey through Côte d’Ivoire takes me into one of the most intimate experiences of the tour so far: a traditional village connected to the Senufo people in the country’s north, where you quickly realise that you do not simply arrive and wander in like your GPS has diplomatic immunity. Here, there is a process — a greeting, permission, and respect. You’ll hear children singing, the sounds of village life unfolding naturally, and the formal conversation where entry is respectfully requested before anything else can begin. What might seem like a small moment reveals something much deeper: this is not culture as decoration, but culture as a living system. And once permission is granted, hospitality follows in the most human way possible with a traditional welcome drink, because whether you are in South Africa or Côte d’Ivoire, some truths travel well — when people truly welcome you, something is placed into your hand, and you receive it with respect. Before the tour, before the music, before the explanations, this episode captures the threshold moment where the village doesn’t just open — it receives you.
