Irish heartthrob Niall Horan told his followers on Twitter that he and the lads enjoyed some well-deserved downtime in the midst of this stressful period and they're all refreshed and looking forward to the next few shows:

"Been on a safari trip for the last couple of days! One of those bucket list things to do, incredible experience. Cape Town tonight! What a beautiful city from what I can see from the hotel! Can't wait for the show! Buzzin'."
