Zola Nombona's Rio de Janeiro adventure: exploring Brazil's beauty with her best friends

South African actress Zola Nombona recently shared a glimpse of her exciting adventure in Brazil with fans and followers on Instagram.

Accompanied by fellow actress Linda Mtoba and manager Ntando Zikalala, the trio explored the vibrant culture and stunning landscapes of Brazil, famously known for its football and samba.

During their time in Rio de Janeiro, Nombona captured the essence of her trip with beautiful photographs, including a striking image of the Escadaria Selarón.

This colourful, tiled staircase, created by Chilean artist Jorge Selarón, is located between the Lapa and Santa Teresa neighbourhoods.

It is a major tourist attraction, featuring over 2,000 tiles from more than 60 countries, and has appeared in numerous music videos and magazines.

The group also visited the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue, where they enjoyed breathtaking panoramic views of the city from the hilltop.

For a unique perspective of Rio, Nombona experienced a thrilling helicopter ride, taking in the stunning sights from above.

No trip to Brazil would be complete without a day at the beach, and the girls relished their time at the famous Copacabana Beach.

Before heading to Brazil, Nombona and her friends kicked off their vacation in Angola.

They shared glimpses of their adventures in this beautiful country, known for its stunning natural landscapes, including the breathtaking Kalandula Falls, dramatic rock formations, unique wildlife and expansive national parks.

Angola's rich cultural experiences are evident in its colonial architecture and the vibrant capital city, Luanda.

During their stay, the group enjoyed a delightful meal at a fine dining restaurant located on Rua Friedrich Engels.

They also visited The Fortaleza de São Miguel, or Saint Michael Fortress, a military museum and historical landmark in Luanda.

Originally built by the Portuguese in 1575, the fortress served as the city's first line of defence and marks the foundation of the capital.

“Let the adventures begin ✨🫶🏾 #girlstrip 🇦🇴,” Nombona expressed, capturing the excitement of their getaway.

She added, “I love doing life with you 🥺,” showcasing her affection for her friends.
