The King of Country might soon be known by another title: King of the Jungle!While George Strait spends much of his time on sprawling ranch in San Antonio, Texas, he's also becoming quite the world traveler. The singer recently returned from his third African safari with his wife, Norma, and compares the experience to one of his other favorite activities: camping.
"They make it as nice as they can, and it is very nice, but you are out in a tent," he tells Pa. radio station WIOV. Quite a camping trip, indeed! Their last safari had them roughing it in the wild bush for a month, but even George's wife admits it's worth it, if only for the front-row view of the animals.
"She likes the giraffes," George says. "The giraffes are so majestic looking. When they move, when they run, they run like they're in slow motion. You see so many different kinds of animals...cape buffalo, lion, leopard, elephant, giraffes, zebras ... it's just an incredible place."
And even though the couple just returned, George says he's already looking forward to their next African excursion. "Everything's fun over there...you gotta be a little more careful when you're over there, but it's a great time."
His love of fishing has also taken the superstar to several coastal countries. George will be staying stateside for part of next year when he starts touring with longtime friend Reba McEntire.
