Luzon is a tribe from Survivor South Africa: Philippines. Their color is red.

Luzon was quickly split into two sides on the first day, and the aggravation intensified after several challenge losses and a series of shocking events at camp and at Tribal Council. After the tribe switch, Luzon was moved to a new island as part of a reward, and the tribe lived in comfort while a new majority alliance took control before the merge.

Tribes Merged, Day 22
Notes: ^1 The vote resulted in a tie. Per Survivor South Africa rules, a revote would commence. ^2 Per Survivor South Africa rules, in the event of a deadlock tie, the non-immune players would be forced to draw rocks, with the castaway who draws the odd-colored rock being eliminated. ^3 In a surprise twist, Luzon and Mindanao were subjected to a mock vote, where the players voted out were switched to the other tribe. Those voted out were given the right to take an original tribemate to join them on their new tribe. Annalize chose Katinka to join her on Mindanao.

Notes: ^1 The vote resulted in a tie. Per Survivor South Africa rules, a revote was held where the castaways involved in the tie would not vote and the remaining castaways could only vote for those involved in the tie. ^2 Per Survivor South Africa rules, in the event of a deadlock tie, the non-tied castaways would be forced to draw rocks, where the player who got the odd rock was eliminated instead. ^3 Neil drew the odd white rock and was eliminated. ^4 Instead of being voted out, the castaways with the most votes would switch to the opposite tribe that attended Tribal Council with them.
