Prince William has joined Australian wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin, the son of the late Steve Irwin, for a mountain ramble during the royal's tour of South Africa.

Prince William is focusing on the importance of wildlife conservation during his current visit to South Africa, and one prominent expert in the field—Australian conservationist Robert Irwin —is praising the royal for his efforts.

Prince William has gone on an early-morning nature walk near South Africa’s Table Mountain to promote the work of conservation rangers in a unique urban national park.
