per ESPN:
Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan football team are headed to South Africa in 2019.
Harbaugh said in the past that he plans to coordinate an annual expenses-paid trip to a foreign country every year for his team, but had not revealed the next destination on the Wolverines' travel itinerary until Monday morning. The coach said during a radio interview with WTKA-AM that his team was planning to visit Johannesburg and Cape Town, along with going on a safari.
"How about that? How about a safari?" Harbaugh said. "I'm looking forward to it."
Last month, Michigan returned from a teamwide trip to France, where the players and coaches visited Paris and Normandy. A year ago, the team traveled to Italy in the first of what has become an annual excursion.
The trip to Italy was held as the finale to Michigan's spring practice schedule and included three workouts overseas. The team did not practice while in France, spending all of its time sightseeing and doing other team-building activities.
Players aren't required to go on the trips, but their costs are covered if they choose to do so. The trips have been financed thus far by a pair of Michigan donors -- Bobby Kotick and Don Graham.
