Pop sensation Dua Lipa and her fiancé, Callum Turner, have been loving every moment of their recent safari escape in South Africa.
Lipa posted on her Instagram: “David Attenborough eat your heart out!!!!! 🫀🫀🫀
“I just had the most incredible trip of my life in South Africa. Being so close to such beautiful animals in their natural habitat, between Kruger Park and Sabi Sands, was something I can barely put into words. It was truly unforgettable...one of those experiences that stays with you forever.”
The post featured photos and video footage of the safari experience, including the sunrise and sunset game drives. Wildlife spotted included a troop of monkeys, a tower of giraffes, a herd of elephants, and a leopard captured stealthily crossing a stream under the cover of darkness.
She naturally included a handful of selfies too, with some beautifully catching the flawless African sunrise.
