Owen wild over SA’s game parks as he takes in the wildlife while on safari

FORMER English football star Michael Owen is in South Africa and shared pictures of his safari experience.

The former Liverpool player uploaded pictures to his Instagram and Twitter accounts showing him having a good time in the wild.

The former striker, 42, is one of the international guest analysts for pay-channel SuperSport and is providing analysis on the Qatar World Cup.

Owen also took time to visit SuperSport United FC’s training headquarters and rubbed shoulders with the coaches, players and staff.

In the pictures, captioned “South Africa, what an amazing place”, Owen is seen feeding a giraffe while in another pic, the giraffe is caught photo-bombing his selfie.

He also snapped pictures of a pride of lions and coalitions of cheetahs relaxing under a tree.

Tweeps and football fans from over the world reacted to Owen’s post.

One user, @Oloff17, replied: “Michael come to Paarl. I will give you a barbecue on 14 Dec. We were born on the same day and in the same year 14 Dec 1979. And I am also a Liverpool supporter.”
