Showmax Unites Africa’s Favorite Housewives for ‘’Ultimate Girls Trip’’
Showmax has announced the upcoming release of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Africa, a new original series bringing together some of the most recognizable women from across the continent for a week-long adventure in Brazil.
The reality crossover premieres on Friday, November 28, 2025, exclusively on Showmax.
Following the success of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: South Africa, one of the streamer’s most-watched titles in 2024, this edition expands the franchise’s reach by uniting stars from five cities—Lagos, Abuja, Nairobi, Durban, and Johannesburg—for a high-energy blend of glamour, drama, and travel.
Produced by GOAT Productions, the company behind Unfollowed, Untied, and Life with Kelly Khumalo (SAFTA winner, Season 3), the all-star lineup features Mariam Timmer from The Real Housewives of Lagos and Princess Jecoco from The Real Housewives of Abuja. Representing The Real Housewives of Durban are Annie Mthembu, Angel Ndlela, and Jojo Robinson, while Johannesburg’s Madam Evodia Mogase and Christall Kay return as two of the franchise’s original breakout stars. From Nairobi, Dr. Catherine Masitsa (Dr. C) and Zena Nyambu complete the cast.
“At Showmax, our audiences have embraced The Real Housewives franchise with incredible enthusiasm,” said Atinuke Babatunde, Executive Head of Channels and Content (West Africa) at MultiChoice. “This edition builds on that connection in a fresh and exciting way—celebrating African women and the rich diversity of the continent.”
Barrie Kelly, VP of International Format Production and Development at NBCUniversal Formats, added that the African versions have “captured the vibrant diversity of their countries” and that the upcoming trip “takes that energy to the next level.”
Originally launched in the U.S. in 2021, The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip has seen four seasons on Peacock. The African edition, distributed internationally by NBCUniversal Formats, marks a major milestone in the franchise’s continental evolution.
