Ask these questions in writing before you book. A reputable provider will answer them clearly. Evasion or vague responses are a red flag.
- (Wildlife) Does the program allow ANY tourist contact with big cats, primates, elephants, or other large mammals?
- (Wildlife) Is the project affiliated with ZAWA (Zambia Wildlife Authority) and an independent welfare body?
- Are placements at residential children's homes?
- Is the partner organisation registered with the Registrar of Societies in Zambia?
