Exclusive Photo tour Zambia
This unique Zambia photo tour combines two of the most spectacular national parks in Zambia. The pristine South Luangwa National Park enjoys an excellent reputation among wildlife connoisseurs and photography enthusiasts. This tour takes place at the beginning of the dry season. The chances for great wildlife sightings in the Luangwa Valley are great. Among other things, the National Park has a high density of leopards.
You will also travel to the most beautiful part of the Kafue National Park, which is still considered as an insider tip and is a remarkable region for observing wildlife. At this time of year, there is often still water in the wide plains. In addition to classic game drives, you will go on boat excursions through the many natural channels. The area is known for regular lion sightings. In June there is also a great variety of birds on the plains. It’s a scene straight out of the Garden of Eden. During our travel season, there is often fog over the plains early in the morning. With a bit of luck, you can capture unique images.
The Zambia photo tour is aimed at enthusiastic wildlife photographers and is also a highlight for guests who have already travelled to other regions of southern Africa.

The most beautiful impressions from Zambia
1
Day 1: Gathering in Lusaka
You will be met at the airport in Lusaka (if you have booked a flight connection specified by us) and then transferred to the hotel.
You will stay at a charming hotel in Lusaka. To recover after the flight, you can enjoy the amenities of the hotel.

Day 2: On the way to the South Luangwa National Park
In the morning you fly to Mfuwe, the gateway to the South Luangwa National Park. After the one-hour flight, you will be transferred to our first camp. Our first lodge is situated in the middle of the national park on the west bank of the Luangwa River, surrounded by a beautiful ebony grove. This place is known for its always fabulous light conditions under the tall trees.
South Luangwa National Park
In the afternoon, you will go on your first game drive. With a bit of luck, you will experience the first great wildlife encounters.
The National Park is one of the most spectacular national parks in Africa. With its diverse landscapes and central location on the Luangwa River, the park is home to a huge wildlife population. Over 200 different mammal species and around 400 bird species live together in this protected area.
The landscape along the river is characterised by magnificent acacia and ebony forests as well as idyllic floodplains and lagoons. The further inland you go, the more Miombo forest dominates, alternating with vast grassy steppes. The national park offers great opportunities for wildlife viewing. Especially in the north, where our camp is situated, the chances of seeing lions and leopards are very good. The beautiful scenery and abundant wildlife make the Luangwa Valley an incomparable destination for your photo safari. June is the beginning of the dry season and temperatures are still pleasant.

Day 3 - 5: In the realm of the animals
We get up early each morning. After coffee or tea and a small breakfast, the morning game drive starts before sunrise. You will explore the northern part of the Luangwa National Park. Along the river, lagoons or further inland we go in search of special photo opportunities.
After the morning game drive you enjoy a delicious brunch back at camp. There is also plenty of time for a siesta or, if desired, a photo review.
You can also participate in another safari activity over lunch if you so desire. The camp has made a name for itself for its unique photo hides. Depending on the season and the activity of the animals, the hides can be incorporated into the day as a third safari activity.
In the afternoon, we set off again for another game drive. More great sightings await you. After sunset we go in search of nocturnal wildlife before returning to camp in time for dinner.
The day is rounded off with a delicious dinner in the middle of the bush and accompanied by a wonderful soundscape.

Day 6: From South Luangwa to Kafue National Park
Today you fly back to Lusaka and then continue to Kafue National Park. Depending on the time of arrival, we will do our first activity in the afternoon.
Our journey takes us to the most beautiful part of the Kafue National Park. The region is especially known for regular lion sightings and a great variety of antelopes and birds.
Our lodge is surrounded by beautiful, wide plains and natural waterways. Together with the abundance of wildlife, it almost feels like the Garden of Eden. During our travel season, the watercourses in the plains are probably still well filled. The activities take place alternately by boat and/or in an open safari vehicle. This opens up impressive perspectives, especially for photography. With luck you will photograph graceful lechwe antelopes jumping through the water or a pride of lions directly at eye level. Also very often during our travel time, mystical ground fog drifts over the wide plains early in the morning. If we find wildlife in the right place at the right time, you will find unique photo motifs.

Day 7 - 8: Out and about in the Garden of Eden
You will spend two full days in the region doing game drives and boat excursions. You will also have plenty of time to enjoy the amenities of the beautiful lodge.
Kafue Nationalpark
Kafue National Park is the second largest national park in the world, covering an area of 22,400 km2. It is situated about 200 km west of the town of Kafue at an altitude of about 1000 m on the upper reaches of the Kafue River. The northern part of the park with the Busanga Plain is largely untouched. The area is characterised by the Lufupa forest and open, wide grasslands.
Apart from its imposing and varied landscape, the park is particularly famous for its animal population. Lions, leopards, kudus, warthogs, wildebeests, buffaloes, hyenas, jackals and primates live together here. In addition, there are more than 400 different bird species to marvel at; most of them can be found in the north of the park, where our lodge is also located.
