Tip: support small local initiatives. Help with funding for books, teachers, vaccinations, lunch money. Not building schools or hospitals.

Best Tip - Don't over plan, just go for it!
Stay away from national parks in Africa and Asia. They do little to support the local people and the wildlife is also outside the parks. Find a village just outside the parks and enjoy it from a different perspective.
