He is chosen as the 'receiver of memory' - and will inherit all the past memories from the time before society changed into 'the sameness' - a state without pain or strife or emotional depth.
While Katie is in South Africa she has also taken the opportunity to introduce daughter Suri to the country's wildlife.
The 34-year-old took the seven-year-old to the Aquila Game Reserve outside of Cape Town where they checked out elephants, lions, giraffes, buffalo, rhinos and leopards.
