Tom Brady is making once-in-a-lifetime memories with his little girl.

The retired NFL star, 45, enjoyed a scenic safari with his 10-year-old daughter, Vivian Lake over the weekend, sharing photos on his Instagram Story Sunday.

“True love,” he captioned a photo of Vivian from behind, as she looked out at the serene stretch of land ahead of her.

The Super Bowl champ also showed his daughter taking photos of different animals as they drove through. The pair checked out some big cats before moving on to zebras and elephants.

Later, they enjoyed lunch together and Vivian decided to share some of her food with a nearby bird. He captioned the shot, “always thinking of others.”

Brady shares Vivian and son Benjamin Rein, 13, with ex Gisele Bündchen and is also dad to son John “Jack” Edward Thomas, 15, whom he shares with ex Bridget Moynahan.

This isn’t the first glimpse that Brady has shared from his travels with his kids. Earlier this month, he posted photos and videos of his kids jumping into a river. In one video, Jack jumped into the water with a friend while Benjamin watched from the dock. Vivian quickly followed her older brother into the water.

The athlete also posted a photo of his son, whom he affectionally calls Jackie, on the shooting range, and wrote “❤️️❤️️” on the picture.

Earlier this summer, Brady chatted exclusively with PEOPLE about his kids’ travel plans for the season. “I’ve got my little calendar right here,” the football icon told PEOPLE at the time. “We’re going to Disneyland tomorrow to celebrate because it’s the last day of school. Then they’re going with their mom for a couple of weeks to Brazil.”

He continued, sharing that when they get back to Brady, they’re “going with me to Europe.”

“They got lots of good plans,” he said with a laugh. “These kids have a really good summer lined up.”

The NFL icon shared pictures from their adventure on Instagram on Monday.

Brady, 45, and Vivian, 10, got to admire several wild animals in their natural habitat during the recent vacation.

The retired quarterback’s pictures featured a lip-licking lion and an elephant with giant tusks.

One snap showed a message Vivian wrote in the sand that read: “My dad loves zebras.”

And in another, Brady’s daughter fed a bird with a piece of her muffin.

“Always thinking about others,” the ex-NFL star wrote in the caption.

A few days earlier, Bundchen, 43, celebrated her 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day with Vivian as well as the Brazilian model’s twin sister and niece.

Brady’s ex-wife shared a series of pictures from the girl’s trip, showing them enjoying boat rides, snowmobiling together, and having a celebratory 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day meal.

“I wanted to thank everyone who took the time to congratulate and send good vibes on our 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day,” Bundchen captioned the snaps.

“I am so lucky I got to spend it with my twin sister and our girly girls. I feel blessed to be surrounded by so much love.”

Brady and Bundchen announced their divorce in October 2022.

The power couple ended their marriage after 13 years together.

Rumors have been linking the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers star to Kim Kardashian as well as supermodels Emily Ratajkowski and Irina Shayk in recent weeks.

TMZ recently reported that Shayk and Brady spent a night together at the seven-time Super Bowl champ’s Los Angeles mansion earlier in July.

The two were then reportedly seen in his Rolls-Royce with the NFL icon appearing to stroke Shayk’s face.

The Russian model dated soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and actor Bradley Cooper in the past.
