The “Grannies on Safari” are Pat Johnson and Regina Fraser, who between them have traveled to more than 80 countries over the last three decades. Pat Johnson is a widely respected arts administrator who has worked with many internationally recognized cultural institutions in three states and has owned an art gallery. Regina Fraser is an energetic world traveler with a natural curiosity about the world and its most creative citizens.

In each episode of their pioneering new television series, they embark on expeditions in search of the bizarre, the exotic and the sublime, following winding roads, riding canoes, camels and donkeys, looking behind mysterious doors, and visiting urban city centers and rural hamlets. There are surprises at every turn as they determinedly track down cultural treasures. Pat and Regina’s interactions with each other and the situations in which they find themselves make every program an engaging journey.

The thirteen episodes will include visits to South Africa (2), Morocco (2), Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Shanghai, Brazil (2), and Australia.
