Nairobi, Kenya — Samuel L. Jackson is in Kenya, and Kenyans online are loving it.
Over the past couple of days, multiple local outlets and social posts have reported that the Hollywood icon has been vacationing in northern Kenya, where he spent time at Reteti Elephant Sanctuary inside Namunyak Community Conservancy.
Jackson reportedly shared clips and photos from the visit, including footage of elephants grazing and close-up moments that quickly made the rounds on Kenyan social media.
The Reteti visit that got everyone talking
Reteti is widely known for its community-led conservation model, rescuing and rehabilitating orphaned elephant calves before returning them to the wild. Jackson’s appearance there has drawn fresh attention to conservation work in northern Kenya — and, as always, Kenyans online did not waste time turning it into a trending moment.
And yes — there was a Blinky Bill moment too
The celebrity sightings didn’t stop in Samburu. Kenyan artist Blinky Bill also posted about meeting Jackson, with entertainment outlets sharing that the two linked up while the actor is in the country.
While Jackson hasn’t publicly shared a detailed itinerary, the posts and reports have been enough to confirm one thing: Kenya is on Samuel L. Jackson’s travel map right now — and the internet is here for it.
