Chronology
Followed by Survivor South Africa: Malaysia

Survivor South Africa: Panama is the first season of the South African reality television show Survivor South Africa, a spin-off from the popular US reality television series Survivor, which itself was a spin-off from the Swedish Expedition Robinson. It was set in Panama, with 14 castaways who competed in two tribes for 29 days, the winner's prize being R1,000,000.

Production of the show has been slated by critics, since it was screened on M-Net from September 2006. Critics have cited poor production quality, a weak host in Mark Bayly, and contestants that just simply all get along too well because they were picked from similar middle-class backgrounds and were in similar age brackets. Bayly has been singled out by newspaper columnists in The Star and Weekender for being staid and wooden who has difficulty delivering his lines on national television. The quality of the sound production, where waves often deafen out the talking of the contestants, has been singled out of criticism. The editing quality, which would often see tribal councils take up a quarter of the show, has also been slated.

The second season of the show, titled Survivor South Africa: Malaysia, was filmed and aired in 2007.

^Note 1 : Jude quit the game after she felt worried for her health.
^Note 2 : Tribal Council was still held following Jude's quit. Because Nico received a majority of the votes at this Tribal Council, he was not eliminated but would instead automatically receive a vote cast against him the next time he attended Tribal Council.
^Note 3 : Sanele left the game for medical reasons. Danielle from Rana was not voted out, and instead changed tribes to Aguila.
^Note 4 : Tribal Council was still held following Sanele's medical evacuation. Because Danielle received a majority of the votes at this tribal Council, she was not eliminated but would instead would leave Rana and become a member of Aguila.
^Note 5 : When four contestants remained, the format of the game changed. The first contestant to lose the Immunity Challenge would be eliminated, the winner of the challenge would automatically earn a spot in the Final Two and the two runners-up would later compete in another challenge for the last spot in the Final Two.
