Thanks for the pics Ice, they're great!
A few more articles about her trip to Africa:
Princess Caroline of Monaco will be visiting South Africa during a two-week humanitarian field trip through Africa.
IOL: Princess Caroline to visit SA
This one has been translated with google:
Congo-Kinshasa: Katanga - the princess Caroline of Monaco to the bedside of the underprivileged children
The compassion for the reduced to poverty and disadvantaged Congolese populations brings the partners of the democratic Republic of Congo, as well of the political world as of international organizations and organizations, to intervene to come to them to assistance.
allAfrica.com: Congo-Kinshasa: Katanga - la princesse Caroline de Monaco au chevet des enfants défavorisés (Page 1 of 1)
And I'm not able to translate this one, sorry:
La princesse Caroline de Monaco vole au secours des enfants défavorisés de la Rdc
Link
BTW I really hope we get more pics of her visit, it is really strange that we can't find any at the agencies.....

La princesse Caroline de Monaco vole au secours des enfants défavorisés de la Rdc
Link
My translation:
Princess Caroline flies to help the underprivileged children of the RDC
Princess Caroline's private visit to Katanga where the special hostess of the cupriferian province inspects a series of Ong for the protection of underpriviledged children which she has been supporting for several years.
Princess Caroline of Monaco is paying a private visit to Katanga, in the South-East of the Democratic Republic of Congo (RDC), where she is financing several projects for the World Association of Children's Friends, according to Radio Okapi, sponsored by the Ong.
On Wednesday, the Princess visited a center for underprivileged children at the Hospital of Kapolowe, about 90 kilometers from Lubumbashi. During the course of her four-day stay, she will also go to several centres in Likasi, a mining town located about 120 kms from Lubumbashi. On Tuesday, she visited the maternity of the general hospital of the provincial capital, one of the Association partners.
In RDC, a vast country in Central Africa with immense natural resources but ruined by years of war (1998-2003), the rate of child mortality is 205 per 1000, one of the highest in the world, and more than a million children are orphans of one of two parents who died of AIDS, according to the UN.

Great pic of Princess Caroline with children at child care centre in Macassar, Cape Town, from today - pic ( Photo: Sophia Stander, Sunday Tribune)
Pierre is also in Africa, it is mentioned in article (IOL website);
Princess Caroline visits child centre
"Princess Caroline of Monaco arrived in Cape Town this weekend and visited a child care centre in Macassar funded by an organisation she is involved with.
To show their appreciation, the 3 and 4-year-old pupils of the Khanyisa Educare Centre sang to the princess and gave her flowers and, with hands on hearts, they proudly belted out the national anthem.
The princess, who was accompanied by her youngest son, Pierre, described the centre as a "small miracle"...

I agree Ani..Can't wait to see the photos! 
So touching article;
Royal visit brings smiles to young children
Kylie Kunneke, seven, couldn't believe a real-life princess was sitting next to her. She was so overwhelmed, she could barely speak.Then, after a few minutes, she leaned over to her mom and whispered in her ear.
HRH Princess Caroline of Hanover (nee Princess Caroline of Monaco) asked the mother what the girl had whispered.
"She wants to know if she can hug you," the mom said.
When the princess obliged, Kylie immediately snuggled up to the regal woman sitting on the bed with her. The two held each other in a mutual embrace for several minutes...rest read here (IOL site)
Princess Caroline is on her way to visit Burundi, the DRC and Niger. Hope we'll soon get the coverage! The lines in articles are sending strong message, but photos even more..

She's an amazing woman and my admiration for her never ceases. This world needs more people like her dedicating their time and fortunes to help humanity. Hopefully, HRH Princess Caroline, will inspire others.

And a nice article:
Nelson Mandela meets Monaco's Princess Caroline in South Africa
"It is wonderful to have the princess here and she is as beautiful as ever," he said.
Holding his hand, Caroline, said it was an honor for her to be in South Africa and with Mandela.
"You are a living example of what a human being should be. If there is one thing you have taught us all, it is to care and we will try humbly to follow the high standards you have set," she said.
"The trip has been very busy. It has been an intense one but also a rich one. I have seen a lot and got a better view of how we can work with children in areas of health and education," she said.
