Madjozi went all out for her skit and enlisted the help of a whole lot of people to body-double as the characters from the now-iconic show.
The hitmaker also said in her caption that the video doubled as a bit of publicity for the Ngorongoro conservation area where Lerai is situated. She wrote:
"Life in the Ngorongoro conservation area where there’s room for both wildlife and people. Like this Maasai village called Lerai which makes a living from welcoming tourists. They asked me to tell my friends about them so they can get more visitors. So, my friends... WELCOME TO #BRIDGERTON #tanzaniaunforgettable"
