Top global celebrities will don “jungle fever” outfits in India for a trip to the zoo on Saturday as part of a party thrown by Asia’s richest man.

Pop star Rihanna, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka are among the rich and famous guests who jetted in for a three-day gala celebration hosted by billionaire tycoon Mukesh Ambani.

This weekend’s party is an elaborate pre-wedding ceremony for younger son Anant and fiancee Radhika Merchant, the daughter of wealthy pharmaceutical moguls.

The three-day gala — which saw “Umbrella” singer Rihanna perform on Friday for the first time since last year’s Super Bowl — will continue Saturday with a trip to an “animal rescue centre” housing exotic animals.
