What Parents Need to Know
About Moms on the Road: Africa
Parents need to know that this is a frank, if simplistic, look at Africa's racial, cultural, and economic issues, as well as a travel show. Beautiful mountains and surfing scenes are juxtaposed with tours of shanty towns and lessons about apartheid.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the show's cultural lessons about Africa and its current problems, particularly the huge economic divide between rich and poor. How is life in Africa different from life in the United States? What problems does America have that are similar to those in Africa? Why are different parts of the world so unlike one another? Is it important to visit other parts of the world? Why? Families can also discuss the women's reactions and how the two countries' problems are reflected in the relationships among the women.
