A Seven-Night Photographic Safari Through Hwange National Park
Join us on an exclusive seven-night photographic safari through one of Zimbabwe’s most rewarding wildlife regions, Hwange National Park. This carefully designed itinerary combines two outstanding safari camps in both the northern and south-eastern regions of the park, finished with a relaxing and adventure-filled stay at Victoria Falls.
Led by award-winning professional wildlife photographer Andrew Macdonald, this small-group photographic safari is designed for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts who want time, access, and expert guidance in prime game-viewing areas.
With all transfers by charter aircraft, this safari offers seamless logistics, varied habitats, and exceptional photographic opportunities, from private concessions to iconic waterhole hides.
Safari Overview
This seven-night Zimbabwe photographic safari begins and ends in Victoria Falls, with charter flights linking three exceptional locations. The journey starts with three nights at Camp Hwange on a private concession, followed by two nights at Wilderness Linkwasha, famous for its water-level hides and floodlit waterholes.
The safari concludes with two nights at Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, including guided experiences at the Falls and on the Zambezi River.
This itinerary has been carefully timed for late August, one of the best months for wildlife concentrations, dry-season visibility, and predator activity in Hwange.
