Usher Raymond IV shared a few photos recently of his wildlife adventures in South Africa.

The sexy crooner, who recently released a controversial video for his hot song “Climax” (click HERE to watch), bravely posed with what looked like a tranquilized Cheetah and tweeted:

Cool Kats chillin in the shade. URIV #Climax

Usher was joined on the trip by his friend and producer Rico Love and the two shared several photos online.

More photos below…

If ya’ll didn’t know I love owls. Eagle owls are one of my favorites. Say what up to “Howdidit” and “Hootie Hoo”

This is my lil homie…he would not let me go!

Usher was apparently in South Africa headlining at the Hansa Festival of Legends at Orlando Stadium in Soweto.

I swear Usher’s pics and the “housewives” recent visit has me wanting to plan a trip to the mother land soon! (but don’t worry… as long as there’s wifi I’ll keep blogging “Straight From Africa”… 😆 )

Does Usher’s photos give you vacation fever too?

Where would you go if you could go anywhere RIGHT NOW???
