David Dobrik and a crew of Vlog Squad regulars — including Natalie Noel, Zane Hijazi and Georgia Hassarati — spent the week posting photos from a safari trip through South Africa, and the internet immediately took notice, per TMZ.

The photo dump featured the group posing close-up with lions, cheetahs and rhinos, prompting Hassarati to clarify in a caption that "no animals were harmed nor were they drugged," explaining some encounters happened at a rescue sanctuary while others were shot in the wild.

Not everyone was charmed: some social media users flagged photos of Dobrik appearing to party without a mask amid the trip, reviving criticism the YouTuber has faced before over safety optics. Still, the safari content racked up millions of views within hours, continuing Dobrik's streak of turning group getaways into viral moments, following his earlier Discovery+ travel series with the same crew.
