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.
