Celebrities Hit African Safari: Sweeney, Hemsworth & Biles Go Wild
So apparently, teal carpets and manicured lawns are out — dusty safari trails and big-cat cameos are the new it-scene. Celebrities are trading first-class cocktails for unsolicited zebra photobombs on an African adventure that’s equal parts fashion editorial and wildlife documentary. Let’s unpack this without overhyping the obvious: they went full safari mode, and we’re here for it.
Sydney Sweeney kicked things off in a figure-skimming linen ensemble that looked like it was tailor-made for tracking elusive elephants rather than dodging paparazzi. She shared a series of candid snaps from a South African reserve, captioning one pic “Just me and my new BFF, Mr. Giraffe.” Sources: TMZ.com’s photo gallery confirms she posted July 1 via her Instagram story, tagging the Big Five reserve she visited.
Meanwhile, Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky made a joint family affair out of sunset wrangling. The Thor star was spotted in classic Khaki shorts and a button-down that might be better suited for a Nickelodeon slime party than a predator-filled plain, but hey, who’s judging? Elsa brought the effortless cool in olive-green cargo pants and a battered fedora that screamed “I hike, but make it fashion.” According to TMZ’s RSS feed, they shared a golden-hour shot with their brood—kids in tow, looking equal parts curious and mildly bored—giving us all major “this is my life” envy.
Then there’s Simone Biles, who swapped podium glory for panoramic vistas. She tagged along in a soft-pink tank top and high-waist shorts, pausing mid-stretch to admire a distant herd. Her Instagram highlight, which TMZ captured on June 29, shows her gazing across the plains like she’s planning a new routine inspired by wildebeest migration. Unexpected flex? Totally.
Singer Chloe Bailey went full zebra whisperer, snapping a “stripe-tacular” selfie with one of the boldly patterned herbivores. She went unfiltered, letting natural light do the heavy lifting—proof that minimalism still rules, even when you’re surrounded by acacia trees.
And, of course, DJ Diplo couldn’t resist chasing down lions with a telephoto lens. He’s been chronicling his travels as part of an ongoing “Wild Wednesdays” series on social, complete with growls in the background and more camera zoom than a blockbuster helicopter shot.
This isn’t just vacation bragging—it’s a full-on celeb safari takeover. They’re embracing off-grid glamour, swapping hotel buffets for biltong and binoculars. If this somehow turns into the next red-carpet trend, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Anyway, that’s the deal. Do with it what you will.
