Dua Lipa has officially joined the long list of global celebrities who have fallen head over heels for South Africa. The Grammy award-winning pop star shared a gorgeous set of photos and videos on Instagram on 18 April 2026. She gave her millions of followers a look into what she described as the most incredible trip of her life. She shared the post with the message:
"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."
The photos showed her taking selfies in front of elephants and watching baboons socialise on rocks at sunset. She also shared a clip spotting a leopard moving through the dark by torchlight and holding what appeared to be a millipede in her bare hand. She also shared clips of zebras grazing together, a herd of elephants, giraffes and lions. Apart from those, there were several shots of her simply soaking it all in from a safari vehicle.
Kruger National Park is one of Africa's largest game reserves, covering nearly two million hectares across Limpopo and Mpumalanga. Sabi Sands, which shares an unfenced border with Kruger, is known for being one of the best places in the world to spot leopards in the wild. It is a private game reserve that offers luxury safari experiences, and guests regularly get extremely close sightings of the Big Five.
