William has been on a ‘private working trip’ in Africa for the past week as president of the United for Wildlife group and patron of Tusk, which is another conservation organisation.

He arrived in Namibia on Monday, where he viewed the work of Save the Rhino in Kunene, before later meeting members of the local community involved in the Kunene People’s Park Initiative.

Following a 5am start, he set off with a dedicated team of rangers to track a rare black rhino.

The royal then flew to Tanzania, where he found out more about measures being taken to combat the illegal wildlife trade.

He also visited Mkomazi National Park, as well as a rhino sanctuary, to learn about conservation efforts in the country.

The Duke of Cambridge is returning to Britain today, following his trip to Africa, which was in part to promote conference on the illegal wildlife trade in London in October.

The prince is passionate about animal conservation, and has campaigned in the past against the killing of elephants, rhinos, pangolins and other species.

William is also fond of Kenya, where he proposed to the Duchess of Cambridge back in 2010.

Earlier this week, William revealed that Kate, 36, was ‘immensely jealous’ of his trip to Africa – as he would finally get a good night’s sleep away from his ‘wonderful children’.

Speaking at a reception in Namibia, he said: ‘I’m delighted to be visiting Namibia for the first time. I’m only sorry that my wife Catherine is not able to join me – she is immensely jealous,’ he said.

‘Particularly as I’m looking forward to a few good uninterrupted nights’ sleep this week away from my wonderful children!’
