Africa’s Botswana plays key role in latest U.K. Royal love affair

Africa’s position as both tourist and interesting place to be in, was once again demonstrated as Botswana, played a key role in unfolding U.K’s royal love affair.

According to agency reports, it was in Botswana that Prince Harry proposed to his girlfriend Meghan Markle after he invited her to spend five days in the country.

“I managed to persuade her to come and join me in Botswana and we camped out with each other under the stars … we were really by ourselves which was crucial to get to know each other,” Harry told the BBC in an interview.

The U.K. Evening Standard in a report stated that the particular facility the two stayed at is a luxurious place known as the Meno A Kwena.

One travel agency described Meno A Kwena as having “one of the world’s most extraordinary location with some of Botswana’s most colourful characters.”

According to Luxury Safari Company, the style of the place was “Quirky unique homely camp, which welcomes you immediately and offers some of the most unique experiences in Botswana.”

Persons who patronize the place have a range of natural tourists sites to relate with, from the Boteti River with the elephants walking its shores.

The camp also offers walking, game drives, “meerkats, scenic flights over the salt pans, star gazing with a portable telescope, mobile camping and conservation safaris.

Meanwhile, the Royal Family in a statement issued on November 27 announced Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s official engagement with a wedding scheduled for next year.

The pair were also keen to spread the word – appearing together for the first time since announcing their engagement.
Harry, who is fifth in line to the British throne, was introduced to the American actress and blogger through a mutual friend last year.

They are expected to get married in the spring.
