It won’t take long in Africa to realize that, in Zambia, safaris rule!

Here, safaris can take the form of an early morning stroll in the bush or a ten-day trek deep into the heart of this dramatically beautiful land.  One thing all safaris have in common is great photo opportunities so make sure you take a camera.  Or two.

Zambia safaris make such outstanding photo opportunities that many lodges, parks, and tourist bureaus can point you in the direction of a tour guide specializing in photography safaris.  The lucky shutterbug may even find him- or herself in a safari designed as photography workshop.  What a wonderful way to capture those memories.

One way to feel the excitement and get great photos at the same time is with Zambia safaris in open vehicles.  Your tour guide will drive you right up to a pride of lions, flock of flamingos, or herd of hippos, providing you with an almost face-to-face visit you will probably never forget.  And after a day roaming through the bush country, don’t be surprised if the evening is a luxurious surprise complete with fine dining and wine, white linen bedsheets, and running water to shower up in.

Zambia safaris at night bring out a completely different adventure.  Many animals, birds, and even amazing insects, only come out at night so the only way to see them is to hire a seasoned night guide for your moonlight safari.  Specialized photography equipment will be needed for night photos.

The wildlife spotted while on your Zambia safaris is only one way to interact with the magnificent animals of the area.  You can actually put some of those animals to work on your next safari.  Consider spending a few hours riding atop an elephant as it takes you through its natural habitat.  Horseback safaris can be short ones, too, or they can extend for days with overnight camping along the way.

The safari industry in Zambia is so well incorporated into the culture of the country, there’s bound to be a safari just your size.
