A True Haven for wildlife photographers

Zambia is undoubtedly one of Africa’s ultimate wildlife destinations and a haven for wildlife photographers, enchanting them with its unparalleled natural beauty and diverse range of animal species. This park has been a hidden gem in Africa but is steadily becoming a popular wildlife destination for travellers seeking an intimate safari experience away from the crowds. The park’s thriving ecosystem offers opportunities to photograph leopards, lions, elephants, buffalo and wild dogs. Birdlife is exceptional and with a diverse ecosystem encompassing riverbanks, woodlands and floodplains, the park becomes a dynamic backdrop for shooting over 400 bird species - from the African Fish Eagle to the colourful White-fronted bee-eaters and a wide array of waterbirds. Lower Zambezi’s enchanting allure lies in its ability to bring photographers face-to-face with both iconic and elusive creatures, suited to those seeking to document the untamed heart of Africa.

Testimonials

What C4 Photo Safaris guests say

I've just returned from a trip to Botswana and Zambia organised by C4 and have to say it was one of the best trips I've been on. The trip was well organised from airport pickup to drop off. Our guides and drivers were excellent, very knowledgeable about the country and the animals and birds, getting us into great positions for photography and providing very useful tips and suggestions for taking photos. The lodges selected were first class with top rated food and service. I'd highly recommend C4 and will be booking my next safari with them.
