Actress Elsa Pataky celebrated her 50th birthday in an extraordinary way. Instead of throwing a lavish party, the star traveled to Kenya, where she spent several days on safari with her 14-year-old daughter, India Rose.

The wife of Hollywood superstar Chris Hemsworth shared photos from the trip on Instagram, describing it as the «adventure of a lifetime».

In the images, Elsa can be seen exploring the savannah on horseback, enjoying close encounters with Africa’s majestic wildlife — including elephants and giraffes — and even observing predators in their natural habitat. She also spent her evenings around a campfire while taking in the breathtaking scenery.

«Memories from one of my favorite places in the world — Kenya. Every single moment was truly special», the actress wrote.

During the trip, Elsa also visited a Maasai village and explored one of Africa’s most famous wildlife reserves — the iconic Maasai Mara.
