The Duke of Sussex has continued his surprise African tour in his role as President of the African Parks Networks, with a visit to Rwanda to carry out conservation work ahead of his return to the UK.
The official Twitter account of the office of the president of Rwanda said Prince Harry visited the country as part of his work as president of African Parks.
A picture posted by the president’s office shows Harry, dressed casually in a green shirt and beige trousers, standing next to President Paul Kagame.
The tweet said: “President Kagame received Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, who visited Rwanda as part of his work as President of African Parks.
“The Government of Rwanda has agreements with African Parks to manage Akagera and Nyungwe National Parks.”
The Twitter account of the Kigali Genocide Memorial also posted pictures of Harry paying respects to victims of the genocide against the Tutsi which killed hundreds of thousands of people in 1994.
In the morning, Prince Harry paid his respects to victims of the Genocide against the Tutsi at the Kigali Genocide Memorial.
A photo shared with the tweet showed Harry with a wreath, which he reportedly lay on the mass graves. Prince Charles visited the memorial just two months before.
African Parks is one of the few private patronages Harry retained when he stepped down as a senior working royal in 2020.
The nonprofit conservation organization manages over 13 national parks and protected areas on behalf of governments and in collaboration with local communities across Africa.
