Utara is a tribe from Survivor South Africa: Champions. Their tribe color is black.
Led by former Bafana Bafana player, Mark Fish, Utara was a tribe with great strength in challenges, but were lacking in morale due to the shortage of food and mistrust in each other; this left the tribe irritable, and they clashed between themselves and even with their captain for his decisions. Mark opted to abstain from his castaways' strategic gameplay. After the tribe switch, Utara was weakened and lost every remaining tribal Immunity Challenge, but it allowed the majority alliance to ruthlessly vote out their targets before the merge.
