Inside Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott’s dream safari holiday after jetting to South Africa

SAM Thompson and Zara McDermott have been enjoying the holiday of a lifetime in South Africa, near the new I'm A Celeb camp.

The couple have been sharing snaps from their adventurous getaway - including their journey on a private small jet and lunch at a safari park.

Zara, 26, and Sam, 30, have been embracing the stunning landscape and on Monday took enjoyed a safari trip.

The pair travelling through spectacular scenery in search of lions, elephants and cheetahs.

The Love Island star looked terrified as she boarded the plane and told fans: "No one told me I was going to be on a plane the size of an Uber XL."

The former Made in Chelsea star then shared clips from the day out as he used a pair of binoculars to search for wildlife.

The duo looked over the moon as they spotted a lion and a pack of buffalos.

It comes after a week after Sam was rushed to hospital as her underwent investigation for his stomach problems.

They've also taken a break from their home renovations.

The couple have spent the past year remodelling his £1million West London home.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, he said: “That’s been my biggest stress over the past year. I’ve absolutely loved it.

“Genuinely, I walk around the gaff and I have impostor syndrome, like ‘oh my god, I can’t believe I live here’.  

“I actually cried, as lame as that is, when we first moved back in. I can’t believe how awesome it looks. We’re really happy with it. I feel this is a home I can live in, I can maybe bring up kids one day. I feel very proud of it.”

Sam and Zara, 25, have been together since 2019 and have seen their relationship go from strength to strength following a brief split in 2020.
