Where’s Gabon in Survivor Gabon?
The last time Survivor took place in Africa, it was filmed in Kenya. Contestants (and thereby the audience) learned about local Samburu and Maasai culture. The rewards the contestants received included going to local villages and delivering school supplies. At least one got a sense that the contestants were in Kenya and actually interacted with local Kenyans occasionally and possibly learned a little bit about the culture. In fact, the winner of that contest, Ethan Zohn used some of his money to help start Grassroot Soccer a non-profit organization that uses soccer to educate youth in their fight against HIV and AIDS in Africa.
