Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s wife, and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are in Africa. The couple have continued to tour a range of African nations on their 16-day trip in Africa to support charities supporting women. They will travel to Namibia before touching down in Botswana.
The first day of their trip, on Sunday, they visited Ushantu, a royal adventure camp established in 2008 in the wild forests of southern Namibia, where “campers have the opportunity to discover the ultimate in knowledge and creativity while staying in one of four traditional camps where daily activities include storytelling and conservation.”
Their next stop was Gabon, where Harry — who performed an impressive superhero impression — climbed a tree to celebrate the local people’s harvest.
Later that day they were in Northern Bwindi where, following in the footsteps of George Washington, Queen Victoria and the military – members of the army and scouts group, the Order of the Palm Tor, a strong tradition of learning the songs of the region.
While in the country’s capital, Libreville, Harry helped deck a boat with messages to help Queen Elizabeth make a much-discussed long journey to Kenya after the death of her husband, King George VI, on June 13, 1952. The boat held on to a royal flag and set sail from the port towards the ocean.
On Monday, they visited a women’s co-operative in Northern Bwindi, where Harry and Meghan listened to the women’s stories and answered their questions about the royal family. After their meeting, they visited an eco-tourism centre in Kasempa to meet some of the biggest animal populations in Africa, including elephants, lions, cheetahs and hippos.
After returning to Botswana, where they were greeted by a special presidential envoy at the airport, Harry and Meghan visited the Phiyega museum before going to the Skwai Dinee community centre for a meeting and a private tour of the UK Botswana Interest Group (UKBGI) where they met and asked the local residents their views about the future of tourism in Botswana.
They will continue with a lunch at a school in the Okavango Delta with the children and then continue their tour of the country visiting King Mswati III.
