About this season
"Turista per Caso" (Accidentally Tourists) is a series of television programs created by the duo Patrizio Roversi and Syusy Blady, airing on Rai networks in 1991, from 1994 to 2001, and again in 2006. Over the years, the title, inspired by the film "Accidentally Tourist," has become synonymous with "do-it-yourself travel." The original idea was to show friends sitting in their living rooms videos of their own vacations, presenting, with a critical yet highly original eye, an alternative way of seeing the world, its beauties and unique features, highlighting perhaps unseen or little-known aspects.

Blady and Roversi split up again for the series of episodes dedicated to Africa: while Syusy is in Mali, where she visits the city of Djenné and then sets off with her companions on a journey along the Niger River aboard a pirogue, Patrizio is with Irene Grandi in Cape Town, where they explore both the surroundings, characterised by wine production, and the poor suburbs, still marked by the memory of apartheid.

Blady and Roversi's parallel African journeys continue: Patrizio, after a bloodless safari in the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi natural park, first goes to a Boer farm and then to a Zulu community; Syusy, following in the footsteps of the 19th-century French explorer René Caillé, finally arrives in the "fabulous" Timbuktu, and then resumes crossing the desert, describing the habits and customs of the Tuareg and Dogon populations.
