Inside Australian influencer Kat Clark's unforgettable safari adventure in Mzansi

Australian influencer and mom, Kat Clark, is currently soaking up the beauty of South Africa, sharing her epic safari adventure in Mzansi with her social media followers.

The popular digital creator, best known for her engaging family content, travelled with her daughter to the world-famous Kruger National Park, documenting the trip with excitement and awe.

The mother-daughter duo stayed at the luxurious Malewane Lodge at Royal Malewane in Mpumalanga, a location renowned for its opulent safari experience.

Wasting no time after landing, they headed straight to their accommodation and were greeted by an entirely different kind of traffic.

“We literally saw Pumba,” Clark laughed, referring to the warthog character from "The Lion King".

“We even saw a giraffe crossing the road and so many elephants!”

Their stay was filled with authentic South African hospitality.

Clark embraced local cuisine, enjoying a traditional braai where she tasted pap and chakalaka for the first time.

Game drives through the vast landscapes of Kruger allowed her to witness Africa’s iconic wildlife, including the famous Big Five - lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo.

She described the experience of being in the African bush as unforgettable.

Kruger National Park remains one of the top safari destinations in the world, celebrated for its exceptional game viewing, diverse ecosystem, and variety of activities, from guided tours to birdwatching.

Its accessibility and range of luxury to budget accommodations make it a bucket-list location for travellers worldwide.

Clark’s African adventure comes after a major life change.

Earlier this year, the TikTok star revealed plans to relocate from Australia to the United States - a move that sparked mixed reactions from her fans.

While some applauded her courage, others questioned the decision to leave behind Australia’s beaches, free healthcare, and laid-back lifestyle.

“There’s a huge part of me that doesn’t want to go,” Clark admitted.

“But I’m curious, and I don’t want to have regrets.”

She acknowledged the challenge of leaving her eldest daughter, Latisha, in Queensland, but said she is ready to embrace new opportunities in America, despite feeling “scared.”

“I need all the support I can get,” she told her followers. “This is scary - but I’m going to give it a go.”
