Hilary Duff is getting married life off to the best start with a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in Africa. The Lizzie McGuire actress and her husband Matthew Koma are taking a safari honeymoon where they have already seen the big five of lions, rhinos, leopards, elephant and Cape buffalo – and luckily for her fans, she's taking them along for the ride.
The 32-year-old has been unable to resist sharing photos and videos from their trip on Instagram, showing close-up footage of the animals in their natural territory. "Honeymooning with my honey. Already seen the big 5 and had so many naps. Doesn't get better than this…" she captioned one photo, which showed herself and Matthew having a drink while looking out at the scenery.

However, it appears she has been missing her two children – Luca, seven, and one-year-old Banks – during their time away from home, and posted on Monday that she is "trying my best to stay present and enjoy this once in a lifetime adventure" on their trip. The actress also admitted she felt guilty to be on safari in Africa while Australia has been so badly devastated by fire, writing: "It's a strange feeling of guilt to be enjoying my honeymoon in South Africa in a similar landscape where the animals are healthy and free and such devastating circumstances for others occurring at the same moment."

She continued: "Homes burned, people displaced and unfortunately some lives lost. @matthewkoma and I are coming up with a number that we feel comfortable with to donate and will keep you posted on that. Please do what you can."
