To find out how many candidates will be participating in Love In The Wild, viewers must tune in to the launch show episode.
South Africa has 11 official languages, all candidates are encouraged to speak in the language they are most comfortable with.
No, candidates are not paid to appear on the show.
Yes, there are rules that candidates will have to abide by. These will be shared in detail with the successful candidates once they have been selected for the experience.
The show is built on the premise that candidates live in isolation within the villa and its immediate surroundings, with little to no contact with the outside world during their participation.
No verbal or written communication with anyone outside the show's parameters is allowed. However, producers may, at their discretion, permit contact for specific activities or reward purposes.
If a candidate becomes ill, they will receive first aid and be attended to by the on-site Safety Officer, who will be present throughout the filming period. In the case of a serious condition, the candidate will be taken to the nearest hospital, accompanied by relevant personnel, in accordance with the strict risk assessment regulations of Love In The Wild. However, if the illness requires an extended absence from the villa, it is unlikely that the candidate will be able to return to the experiment and may be replaced by another participant.
Candidates are free to leave at any point during the process, with the understanding that they cannot return and may be replaced. Production requests a minimum of 24 hours’ notice to arrange the departure. Candidates must provide a reason for their exit in the diary room and explain their departure to both fellow participants and viewers.
One of the prerequisites for joining the experience is that all participants must be tolerant, and any personal practices candidates wish to follow will be respected.

Love In The Wild is a pre-recorded show with a PG 18 rating, intended to cover all candidates' activities at all times. This means candidates will be filmed continuously, whether nude or fully clothed, with the footage subject to the producers' discretion for screening. Candidates are allowed to be nude in the villa, provided their behavior does not infringe on the rights of others or constitute sexual harassment. What is aired is determined by the producers, who ensure that all content aligns with BCCSA standards and respects the rights of all candidates.
