Britain's Prince Harry has splashed out £20,000 on a booze cruise in Africa.

The 25-year-old royal and a host of his pals - including TV presenter Natalie Pinkham - all jumped aboard a houseboat, which was full of crates of beer and cigarettes, as part of his belated birthday celebrations.

A source said: "He now has a short gap in training and has persuaded a group of friends to join him on a belated birthday treat."

The ten-day trip, which includes cruising down a crocodile-infested delta, has been described as Harry's first "real break" for ten months as he has been busy training to become a helicopter pilot.

He is determined to enjoy it.

The source told Britain's Sun newspaper: "He is determined to enjoy it."

It is the same boat Harry chartered in Botswana last year when he took on/off girlfriend Chelsy Davy cruising.

Meanwhile, sources claim Harry is determined to win Chelsy back, planning a romantic New Year break at an exotic safari lodge in Botswana.

However, the pair intend to bring a host of friends each so it may not be the romantic break Harry has planned for.

A source said: "Chelsy and Harry went to the same area four years ago when they had just started dating.

"Harry is really hoping that the trip will go ahead, if their schedules allow, because it will be an ideal opportunity to rekindle their affair."
