Famed American actor and film producer Samuel L. Jackson is in Kenya.
Photos shared by the star actor captured him spending time at the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary in northern Kenya’s Namunyak Community Conservancy.
Taking to Instagram, Jackson shared a glimpse of elephant herds grazing under the hot sun and captioned, “Me & da herd!”
The conservancy then responded, thanking him for the visit.
In another video, Jackson was filmed watching another herd of elephants grazing behind a barrier, while a photographer quietly captured the moment.
Established in 2016, Reteti Elephant Sanctuary rescues orphaned and abandoned calves, often victims of drought or human activity.
Jackson’s visit now comes barely three weeks after Formula One star George Russell was spotted in the country.
Netizens spotted the Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver vacationing in the country with his girlfriend, Carmen Montero Mundt, enjoying a luxury safari at the Maasai Mara Game Reserve.
Despite clearly hoping to keep a low profile, a sharp-eyed netizen blew his cover, sparking excitement among Kenyan motorsport fans and Formula 1 enthusiasts online.
