American actor Samuel Leroy Jackson is in Kenya and on holiday.
He was among a group of Americans who spent the past week in parts of Marsabit and Turkana Counties while on holiday.
They stayed in an exclusive and expensive hotel in the area while on holiday, officials said.
The group had five choppers that they were using in their tour that started on January 26, 2026.
Jackson posted on his social media accounts a picture where he was close to a herd of elephants in the area.
“Me and da herd!”
Samuel Leroy Jackson (born December 21, 1948) is an American actor and film producer.
He is one of the most widely recognized actors of his generation.
The films in which he has appeared have collectively grossed more than $27 billion worldwide, making him the highest-grossing actor of all time.
In 2022, he received the Academy Honorary Award as “a cultural icon whose dynamic work has resonated across genres and generations and audiences worldwide”.
With more than 150 movies under his belt, he’s starred in major franchises like Star Wars, Pulp Fiction, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Jackson initially majored in marine biology at Morehouse College before switching to architecture. He later settled on drama after taking a public speaking class and appearing in a version of The Threepenny Opera.
Jackson began acting on the stage, including Home and A Soldier’s Play, which was the inspiration for the 1984 film A Soldier’s Story.
He appeared in several television films, and made his feature film debut in the blaxploitationindependent film Together for Days (1972).
After these initial roles, Jackson moved from Atlanta to New York City in 1976, and spent the next decade appearing in stage plays, including the premieres of The Piano Lesson and Two Trains Running at the Yale Repertory Theater.
To supplement his income while auditioning, he worked at the Manhattan Plaza apartment complex as an overnight security guard.
Jackson developed addictions to alcohol and cocaine, which prevented him from proceeding with the two plays to Broadway (actors Charles S. Dutton and Anthony Chisholm took his place).
