Hollywood celebrity couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is in Kenya on holiday, MondayBlues can reveal. The American actress and Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations refugee agency, UNHCR and her husband flew in last week.

The tour has been highly secretive. Word of their visit even got some top UN personalities in shock. Sources close to us indicated on arrival to Nairobi, the couple immediately left for Masai Mara where they were booked into an exclusive camp. It wasn’t clear whether their sons Maddox and Pax accompanied them. Without diverting details our sources said of their visit: "They arrived as a family".

"They are here on holiday," another source, a top official working for the UN told MondayBlues.

On Saturday, Jolie visited Dadaab, the world’s largest refugee camp situated on the Kenya-Somali border.

According to UNHCR, the multiple-award winning actress described the camp as "one of the most dire" she had seen.

"If this is the better solution, then what must it be like in Somalia?" she is quoted to have wondered.

"What is amazing is that as more and more people come into the camp, the Somali families continue to be generous with what little they have. Even if that means having one eighth of the water they need and their children suffering from dehydration," said Jolie.

Responding to Liz Ahua’s — UNHCR representative for Kenya — question on her impressions during the visit Jolie replied: "The Somali families I met today (Saturday) are full of warmth and affection. I wish more people could meet them, then they would have a stronger desire to help."

But the Dadaab tour was just a day out of the celebrity’s secretive holiday to the world renown Masai Mara, famous for the annual wildebeest migration. The celebrity couple is said to have jetted into the country last week and flown to the Mara via a private jet.

Our sources indicated that Brad and Jolie are due to leave the country on Monday.
