  • Havertz was among the top football stars who decided to visit Africa ahead of the new season
  • The German was spotted in a safari in South Africa in delightful pictures that warmed the internet
  • The likes of Memphis Depay, Sadio Mane and Mauro Icardi have also graced the continent in recent weeks

Chelsea ace Kai Havertz joined the long list of football players travelling to Africa for the summer as he was spotted on a wild safari on Saturday, June 18.

The German attacker shared interesting snaps of himself while on a tour in South Africa, enjoying the African sun and wildlife.

If his caption is anything to go by, Havertz has been in South Africa for a little over a week, and he seems to be loving every minute of it.

In one of the photos, the 23-year-old is seen sitting in what looks like the balcony of a luxury lodge.

Sports Brief has since established that he paid a visit to the Royal Malewane Luxury Safari Lodge.

It is just as well that Havertz is relaxing on holiday, as he was very busy for Chelsea last season as the Blues finished third in the Premier League.

Havertz was preferred up front by Thomas Tuchel, who seemed to prefer the false-9 setup for his side, at the expense of want-away star Romelu Lukaku.

In 29 appearances last season in the league, the German managed 8 goals.

Football stars take to Africa

Havertz is only the latest star to take a tour to Africa to unwind before pre-season officially begins.

Sadio Mane, who is set to join Bayern Munich, also visited his native Senegal recently and was involved in a charity game in his home village.

Paris Saint Germain striker Mauro Icardi also recently shared images of himself on a safari in Tanzania, whole Mohammed Salah went back to Egypt for the summer.

Barcelona forward Memphis Depay was also in Africa, although he chose Ghana as his destination, where he met President Nana Akufo-Addo.
