Prince Harry’s love affair with Africa continues with royal tour

He might have spent his entire summer there, but it seems that wasn't enough for Prince Harry.

It seems like he just left, but Prince Harry is already gearing up for another trip to Africa!

Just months after Harry returned from spending the summer in the African savannah, the 31-year-old will return in late November to carry out an official tour.

The Prince is set to begin his tour in Lesotho where he will represent the charity founded by himself and Prince Seeiso, Sentebale, which aims to help poverty stricken children and HIV/AIDS sufferers.

Harry will also visit Prime Minister Dr Pakalitha Mosili and King Letsie III whilst in Lesotho.

From Lesotho, Harry will travel to Cape Town to play in the Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup, the charity’s flagship event, on November 28th.

Harry’s South Africa trip will be primarily focused on social issues facing young people, like life skills, gender equality and HIV awareness.

From Cape Town Harry will travel to another South African city, Durban, where he will work with The Sharks, and Surfers Not Street Children, which both aim to help the disadvantaged youth.

Harry will then swap social issues for animal rights when he returns to Kruger National Park to speak about anti-poaching and endangered wildlife. Harry worked with rangers and wildlife protection charities earlier this year.

The busy tour will come to its end in Johannesburg, where Harry will spend his time learning about South Africa’s recent history and about its famous leader, Nelson Mandela – including a visit to the Nelson Mandela Foundation, which focuses on youth development.
