Million Dollar Listing New York agent Fredrik Eklund is a famous globe trotter, with tons of territory already under his bespoke belt. But he's still got at least one travel first to check off the list — and he's doing it right now in sheer luxury.

How to Watch

Catch up on Million Dollar Listing New York on Peacock or the Bravo App.

Fredrik is currently traveling with Derek Kaplan in Africa — and it's the first time he's visiting the place where his hubby is from. Before the trip, Fredrik posted a photo to Instagram that included a shout out to his man: "Big D, you sexy thing, pack your bags because tomorrow we leave for what I think will be the most important trip of my life — I'll finally get to see YOUR AFRICA!"

This is the only photo I have of all of us together... - Luis, no one can replace you and I miss you very much. And I won't stop until you come back as we belong together! ð - Steve, I've known you for a decade now... and I'm so proud of you for jumping into our craziness like this. I've always believed in you. ð - Ryan, I can finally call you a friend and it feels so good! OMG! You and I didn't see it all of these years, but I think now we've pushed one another to work harder and be more successful by competing so much. Thanks Puff for changing him ð - Big D you sexy thing, pack your bags because tomorrow we leave for what I think will be the most important trip of my life -I'll finally get to see YOUR AFRICA! ð¦ And thanks to everyone that did or will watch our first episode tonight, it does mean a lot to us. This season really is off the hook! X /your Freddy

Let's just say it's easy to see why he's in love with the continent — and the whole experience. Consider this snap from a visit to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.

Africa has already stolen my heart. ð

And try this ultra-chic travel stop on for size: a relaxing stint at Sindabezi Island, an exclusive camp located on its own private island on the Zambezi River. It also happens to be the only luxury bush camp from which to explore Victoria Falls.

First 24 hours in beautiful Africa! (VOLUME â¬ï¸â¬ï¸â¬ï¸)

Of course, the couple also had a to take a page out of the Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard playbook, posting a video with vacation footage set to the 1982 song "Africa" by the band Toto!

The couple also shared a magical safari experience at the Duba Plains Expedition Camp in Botswana, and Fredrik fell in love with all the animals they spotted.

Africa through my eyes! I'm so in love with all the animals... ðð¤£ðâ¤ï¸ (VOLUME â¬ï¸â¬ï¸â¬ï¸)

Then it was off to Table Mountain, a must-see in Cape Town, South Africa... and a very romantic spot for a smooch!
