(NewsNation) — It looks like Serena Williams joined her sister Venus Williams in England last week.

Venus Williams, who, as I told you last week, took a jaunt across the pond after the US Open to visit some pals in the Cotswolds before her Italian wedding this weekend, met up with Serena Williams, where they stayed with some friends at a country manor.

But Serena Williams took a detour — to lark about at the Longleat Safari Park, according to the British gossip newsletter, PopBitch.

“She travelled in a zebra-striped VIP Land Rover, getting out for a private tour of the wild dog section. She asked the ranger plenty of questions and was dressed head to toe in a Nike tracksuit,” the newsletter noted.

Serena Williams, her husband and children are now headed to Italy to see Venus Williams marry her love, Italian/Danish model/actor Andrea Preti this weekend.
