Dr Catherine Masitsa and Zena Nyambu Bring East African Sophistication to The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Africa
Two of Kenya’s most glamorous women, Dr Catherine Masitsa and Zena Nyambu, are set to represent East Africa in The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Africa, premiering on Showmax this November.
Dr Masitsa, the business mogul and tastemaker popularly known as Dr C, has been part of The Real Housewives of Nairobi since Season 1. Zena Nyambu, the beauty and aesthetics entrepreneur who joined as a full-time Housewife in Season 2, quickly became a fan favourite for her charm and confidence.
A Pan-African Adventure in Brazil
The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Africa brings together some of the most iconic Housewives from across the continent for an unforgettable adventure in Brazil. The spin-off follows the success of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: South Africa, one of Showmax’s most-watched shows in 2024.
This time, the drama, glamour, and sisterhood go global as Housewives from Kenya, South Africa, and Nigeria come together under the Brazilian sun. The show drops on 28 November 2025, produced by GOAT Productions, the team behind Unfollowed, Untied, and the award-winning Life With Kelly Khumalo Season 3.
A Celebration of African Womanhood
“The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Africa is more than just a reality show — it’s a celebration of African womanhood in all its power, diversity and glamour,” says Graeme Swanepoel, Executive Producer at GOAT Productions. “For the first time, we’re bringing together iconic Housewives from across the continent to share their worlds, their stories and their sisterhood. It’s unapologetically Pan-African, women-led and bursting with authenticity.”
Barrie Kelly, VP of International Format Production and Development at NBCUniversal Formats, added:
“Every African version of The Real Housewives has captured the vibrant diversity of its country while resonating globally. With Ultimate Girls Trip: Africa, we’re taking that energy to the next level. This series brings together some of the most formidable Housewives for an unforgettable journey — we can’t wait for viewers to join them in Brazil.”
