After two years wed, Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and her NFL player hubby Jonathan Owens are basking in their love during a honeymoon trip to South Africa.

Biles has been documenting her trip’s exciting, adventurous, and romantic tidbits on Instagram. So far, the world-renowned gymnast has served safari chic and gotten up close with elephants, giraffes, lions, and other wildlife. According to People, Biles shared a photo on her Instagram Stories of an extremely close-by lion that was seemingly photographed at night. Biles wrote, “Not gonna lie, I almost sh*t myself,” regarding the thrilling encounter with the prowling big cat.

Elsewhere on her feed, the athlete has been playing into the safari experience and scenery around her by relaxing poolside in a leopard print bikini and tankini.
