I have just joined CI and started sponsoring a little girl from Zambia. 
I would love to go and visit her this year if possible. 
please tell me your plans.
thank you

Just to make sure:   Are you monitoring the political unrest in Zambia?  Did you know that some countries are warning tourists of the unrest in Lusaka? This morning's Zambian Watchdog tells of fires and protests . ​(I can't travel due to a medical condition; the strife in Lusaka is unnerving for me because I sponsor four who live in Lusaka.)

I hope you can find someone to travel with, more just for your ease of mind and comfort level. I would encourage you to go none the less and not be intimidated by the thought. You use normal everyday common sense and you would have no problems. If your travels are solely for the visit with your sponsored child, they pick you up right at your hotel and take you to the center and to the child's home and back to the hotel. If your taking the child shopping someone from the center travels with you and the family to the mall and back. The Hotel will be very similar to North American style and standard with a more African décor of course. The Mall in Lusaka is like a million malls In the United States and very nice. I went with my wife and we only stayed a couple of days in Lusaka as we were off on safari in Tanzania and an all inclusive resort in Zanzibar. How long were you planning to be in country?
