I am planning a trip to go visit my girl Memory in Zambia for her birthday in early october and I am looking for other sponsors to travel with,who have children in Zambia as well.It's my first time in Africa and I just don't feel confortable travelling alone,being a woman alone is always a little dangerous everywhere so if anyone is interested and want to come along,please let me know!
I'll be travelling from France.
Thanks

Oh I would LOVE to go but I checked my bank account and it is telling me I can't :(. Ugh!!! Have you picked a hotel? The Protea Hotel Lusaka Tower is well worth the money

I'm definitely down for next year if anyone wants to go!  Do you think CI can handle all us crazies at once?  :P

CI probably does limit the number of visits per day ;). However, it would be fun to meet other sponsors for lunch etc., if we happen to be in the same city at around the same time.

I was visiting the Philippines in 2016, Zambia in 2017; but I would totally reverse that order if sponsors wanted to try to go together to Zambia next year. May, June or July is the best time to go to Zambia, correct? 
Either way if this comes together, lemme know, I'd be interested in joining in! 😎

Yes, let's keep each other posted. I have a slight preference for May but a number of other months would be ok, too.

I'm in for any of those months!  I also wouldn't mind a Zambian tour to include the Victoria Falls :)

Me too rerun1982,I would love to do a tour of Zambia cause it's such a beautiful country and yeah it wold be nice to organize a trip all togheter!
Anytime next year is fine although I don't want to go during the summer,it will be too hot,during the spring will be better!

Sandybelle, as the seasons are reversed, maybe best avoid going there during our winter months. Apparently the dry season is from May to the end of October, and that's the most convenient time to visit.

I'd definitely be interested. I'm supposed to be spending September-December in Zambia but I'm trying to reschedule it so I leave in January. I won't be able to visit my girls during that trip because I'll be working weekdays so I'll be making a trip specifically to see them.
