David Rocco's Dolce Africa — Season 1, Episode 5: African Wedding Crashers

Episode synopsis

With only 12-hours’ notice to attend a wedding in Tanzania’s capital city, it’s a good thing David is in Dar es Salaam, a major hub of fashion, textiles and trade on Africa’s East coast. Though he doesn’t manage to blend in with the locals at the wedding, he does get to sample the local food available at the Coco beach market, and to take a trip out of the bustling city to an easy-going fishing village to soak up its fresh seafood market. After spending time with a local hotel owner who built his entire property out of recycled and reclaimed materials, David revels in the laid-back attitude of these people and their tight-knit creative community.
