Madonna's Back That Up To The Beat played over the clip which she captioned 'Dancing under the full moon with the Masai and good music' followed by a string of emojis.
While it's not totally clear what she meant by 'Masai,' it's possible she misspelled 'Maasai.'
The Maasai are an ethnic tribe in Kenya, the flag of which appeared in her caption in the form of an emoji.
Madonna also shared a number of photo to her Instagram Story, including one where she wore a long blue garment and a big safari hat while relaxing in a chair.
