Prince William will visit Kenya on Sunday, September 30 in what he called "a renewal of his love for Africa".

Kensington Palace said he will visit the 1st Battalion the Irish Guards Battlegroup, who will be training in the country under the British Army Training Unit Kenya (BATUK), in his role as Colonel of the Regiment.

The Irish Guards Battlegroup will include an Infantry Company from the Kenyan Army.

"His Royal Highness will see how British and Kenyan troops are training together to improve performance on operations, for the benefit of both countries."

The prince is currently in Namibia on Monday on the first leg of a tour to learn more about wildlife conservation in Africa ahead of a London-based wildlife conference next month.

The tour, which will see the prince also visit Tanzania, precedes the 2018 Illegal Wildlife Trade Conference in London next month.
