PICS: Miss Universe Catriona Gray goes on her first ever safari while in South Africa

Johannesburg – Miss Universe Catriona Gray made the most of her time in South Africa, going on Safari while here for the Miss SA pageant.

The beauty queen was one of the five judges for the 61st Miss South Africa pageant which saw Zozibini Tunzi crowned as the winner.

After the pageant Catriona took some time to enjoy the beauty of South Africa, going on her first ever safari and sharing a few pictures on her Instagram account.

"So I was praying to see lions up close and heard in my spirit just to wait. So I was sitting there, 15mins passed by and I was just thinking about how creative God is to create all these animals and scenery. And suddenly we turn a bend and there is a family of lions walking right in front of us (sic)," Catriona wrote, captioning a beautiful photograph of a pride of lions.

Unique personalities, the need to be loved and cuddled and a goofy sense of humor - up until today I didnt realise these descriptions could be used to describe baby rhinos. ???? Heartbreakingly, these babies come into the care of @therhinoorphanage because their mothers are killed in unethical poaching, still practiced widely today. As a consequence they come to this facility incredibly distressed, traumatized calling out for their mothers and sometimes eating sand out of stress. The passionate volunteers of the @therhinoorphanage go above and beyond to care for these little giants, spending sometimes 24hours a day with them, feeding them, caring for them, rehabilitating them and preparing them to one day be realised back into freedom. I never realised how baby rhinos feel "human emotions" - they need love and companionship. If you'd like to join me in supporting the efforts of the @therhinoorphanage you can donate through their website at www.therhinoorphanage.co.za ???? Thank you for reading ????
