Naked and Afraid — Season 14

Season 14 aired from February through April 2022 across thirteen episodes, filmed in Mexico, Colombia, Zambia (three episodes), Botswana, and South Africa (four episodes). The premiere "Curse of the Chiapas" set the season's darker tone with an early cast injury, and the run closed with "Lost in Translation" in South Africa.

The season introduced Kerra Bennett, Shanika Malcolm, Rebel Blalock, Jeremy Rowe, Waylon Harper, and Nathan Olesen to the franchise, and welcomed Matt Garland and Max Djenohan back for return appearances. Notable episodes include "Valley of the Leopards" in Zambia, "Battle of the Sexes" in South Africa, and "Legends and Rookies," a challenge structured explicitly around a returning veteran paired with a newcomer.
