Christine Quinn is living her best life on a safari in Kenya with her husband of four years, tech executive Christian Richard.
The former star of Selling Sunset, 34, looked like she was recreating scenes from the iconic 1985 film Out of Africa as she wielded a professional-looking camera with a giant zoom lens.
The mom of one was her usual fashion plate self as she shot photos of the wildlife including a lounging female lion, a herd of buffalo, a stately giraffe, several zebras and a majestic male lion with a beautiful mane.
The couple took part in a luxurious private safari in the African nation.
The model wore wide-legged white pants which she paired with a sleeveless white crop top that featured a plunging neckline.
In some of the photos, she wore a black and white snakeskin print jacket over the top and pants.
She traded out her hats several times wearing alternately a straw cowboy hat, a classic fedora, a pink ball cap and a black ball cap.
Christine traded her usual sky high heels for a pair of high top athletic skills.
The real estate agent accessorized with multi-colored stacked bangles on both wrists and layered necklaces around her neck.
The statuesque beauty was fresh faced with minimal makeup on except for glossy pink lips.
The RealOpen founder turned the Kenyan landscape into a catwalk while she honed her photojournalist skills.
The author of How to Be a Boss B*tch looked like a natural both in front of and behind the camera.
The former villain of the hit Netflix show sounded off earlier this year about how the streamer edits her friends and claimed she would not watch the latest season.
‘I have my girls that I absolutely love, and I’m so supportive of them. But for me, I don’t think I’ll watch the show just because I want to know them for who they are and not what they’re edited to be,’ the real estate broker told E! News.
She continued: ‘So for me, I probably won’t watch it. But I did hear that my name was being dropped in the trailer.’
Despite past tensions with many of her former costars, in particular with Chrishell Stause, the Dallas native revealed she is no longer feuding with her former rival.
‘I feel like Chrishell and I are actually not on bad terms,’ she continued. ‘We really aren’t.’

In 1981, photographer Lynn Goldsmith took a portrait of the musician Prince. It’s a pretty standard headshot — it’s in black-and-white, and Prince is staring down the camera lens.
This was early in his career, when he was still building the pop icon reputation he would have today. And in 1984, shortly after Prince had released Purple Rain, he was chosen to grace the cover of Vanity Fair. The magazine commissioned pop culture icon Andy Warhol to make a portrait of Prince for the cover. He used Lynn Goldsmith’s photo, created a silkscreen from it, added some artistic touches, and instead of black-and-white, colored the face purple and set it against a red background. Warhol was paid, Goldsmith was paid, and both were given credit.
However, years later, after both Prince and Warhol had passed away, Goldsmith saw her portrait back out in the world again. But this time, the face was orange, and Goldsmith wasn’t given money or credit. And what began as a typical question of payment for work, led to a firestorm in the Supreme Court. At the center of it, dozens of questions of what makes art unique. And at what point does a derivative work become transformative? The answer, it seems, has to do less with what art critics think, and more with what the market thinks.
