Londie London, whose real name is Londie Zulu, is currently enjoying a envy inducing vacation in Zanzibar, off the coast of Tanzania.

The singer and former star of "Real Housewives of Durban" recently took to social media to share glimpses of her holiday adventures with fans.

Travelling with her friends, London posted videos showcasing their thrilling experiences, including jet skiing in the pristine blue waters of the Spice Island.

In one light-hearted video, she captioned, “Me with my emergency contact in the same emergency,” while the duo sported matching pink swimsuits.

In addition to their aquatic escapades, she shared stunning pictures of herself relaxing on a yacht while soaking in the breathtaking sunset.

In another snapshot, the glamorous mother playfully flaunted her curves in a vibrant vermilion bikini as she enjoyed a floating breakfast.

London also treated her followers to a sultry drone video of her lounging in a clear kayak, further highlighting her fun-loving spirit.

Known for working hard and playing just as hard, London has a passion for travelling to exotic destinations.

Last year, she swapped South Africa’s winter for a warm tropical getaway in Singapore and Bali.

During her Bali trip, she captivated her audience with snapshots alongside friends at the famous Bali Swing in Ubud.

The reality TV star indulged in a luxurious stay at Villa Mushu, complete with stunning pools and the delight of a floating breakfast.

Bali, often celebrated as the "Island of the Gods", is a popular retreat known for its unique blend of breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and diverse activities.

Although London was not part of "The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Africa", she found herself embroiled in the drama surrounding the trip.

In episode nine of the show, she made a controversial remark regarding Christall Kay's eye condition during a FaceTime conversation with her friend and castmate, Annie Mthembu.

She jokingly remarked, “Sometimes you’re just not sure who she’s looking at. You know, like you want to look someone straight in the eye.”

However, this comment did not sit well with viewers, who took to the social media platform X to express their disappointment, labelling London a bully.

In response to the backlash, London issued an apology on social media, clarifying that her comment was intended as a joke.

“It was a bad comment that was supposed to be a joke; it didn’t land well, xolani bandla [forgive me],” she wrote.

“I am not a bully; I know how harmful bullying can be, and I would never encourage or condone it. And I did say I honestly love Christall. Let’s focus on the positive, guys. I was not even in Rio," she further explained.
