While most international stars stick to the luxury of the Atlantic Seaboard, American comedian and actor Desi Banks decided to get up close and personal with the South African wilderness. However, his trip to the Aquila Private Game Reserve took an unexpected turn when his safari vehicle suffered a flat tire in the heart of the reserve.
The “Wild” Breakdown
Taking to social media to document the mishap, Banks shared the tense yet hilarious moment he and his field guide were grounded during their excursion.
“Stuck in the safari with a flat tire! (South Africa). Sh*t was feeling like a movie,” Banks shared with his millions of followers.
Despite the proximity to the “Big Five,” the Your Favourite Cousin star kept his trademark humor intact, treating the breakdown like a scene from an action flick rather than a travel disaster.
Work, Play, and Mzansi Rhythm
Desi Banks isn’t just in South Africa for the sightseeing; he is currently filming a highly anticipated developing project in Cape Town. Between call times, the comedian has been fully immersing himself in South African culture:
- The Comedy Tour: His visit aligns with his global Your Favourite Cousin stand-up tour.
- Local Flavor: Banks has been spotted dancing with locals and exploring the vibrant streets of the Mother City.
- The Film Hub: His presence reinforces Cape Town’s growing reputation as a “mandatory stop” for Hollywood’s elite, joining a long list of A-listers choosing South African backdrops for major productions.
