text: From Table Mountain to spotting the Big 5 in Hoedspruit, Jonathan Butler's annual October homecoming tradition captures the essence of his deep connection to South Africa.
  The South African Grammy-nominated musician and guitarist took to the social media platform, Instagram, to share his journey with friends, fans and followers.
  The American-based musician has been touring the country on safari with his wife, Nadira.
  According to Butler, every year around October, which is also his birthday month, he hosts guests as he journeys from The Mother City to the African bush.
  During his recent journey, the musician visited Table Mountain, Robben Island and the safari territory of Hoedspruit in Limpopo.
  He revealed that he stayed at the Kapama River Lodge in Hoedspruit where he was fortunate to see all of the Big 5: lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo and rhino.
  “I am home. I cannot tell you what it feels like. It’s always the most incredible feeling. We had a great time. This is Africa. This is the place of my birth. I love this country with all of my heart and soul,” said Butler.
  In a separate Instagram post, he shared: “We always have the greatest time in South Africa. Safari is very special sharing with all our friends and new friends. Best thing is travelling with your best friend.”
