Kenyan socialite Vera Sidika gave fans a lighthearted moment after sharing a hilarious struggle while trying to climb onto an elephant during a safari adventure.
In photos and videos posted on Instagram on Wednesday, April 29, Vera documented what appeared to be a fun but challenging attempt to get on top of the giant animal. What began as an exciting wildlife experience quickly turned into a comic scene as she appeared to wrestle with the elephant’s height and size before finally making it up.
The mother of two appeared to take the moment in stride, laughing at herself as she shared the playful struggle with her followers.
“One of the most amazing fun experiences I’ve had 🥹🥰 swipe to see the struggle to get on top,” Vera Sidika stated.
Soaked wig
Sidika also found herself at the centre of a light-hearted travel mishap after her signature wig was soaked during Thailand’s famous Songkran Festival, turning what was meant to be a glamorous holiday into a drenched and hilarious reality.
Vera shared both frustration and humour online after getting caught in the middle of the country’s iconic water celebrations.
The mother of one revealed she urgently needed a hairstylist in Bangkok for a frontal installation after her wig was completely soaked on the very first day of the festival.
“Guys, send help!!! Who does hair; frontal installations in Bangkok. Need one asap day 1 in Thailand I got splashed with water. (Songkran festival) and my wig melted off,” Vera Sidika stated.
The incident happened during Songkran, Thailand’s traditional New Year celebration known for massive water fights that turn streets into lively scenes of splashing, drenching and celebration.
While the festival is rooted in cultural cleansing rituals, it has grown into one of the world’s biggest water-based street parties, drawing millions of tourists every year. Participants are often soaked within minutes of stepping outside, no matter their outfit, makeup or preparations.
