Carmine photography boat safari on the Zambezi
CNP Safaris offers you a connected Nature experience on the banks of the Chobe River, while supporting you to capture the essence through pictorial storytelling
Words can not describe the world-class photographic opportunities for passionate Bird Photographers created by thousands of nesting Carmine Bee Eaters.
The newly built, modern and stylish Zambezi Mubala Lodge is a secret river hideaway on the shores of the mighty Zambezi.
Cruise downriver with the CNP Safaris custom-built photographic boat and enter the enchanted Mubala world, where the Bee-eaters nest along the banks of the majestic Zambezi between August and December.
They dip into the cool waters for a drink, and they swiftly catch insects and bring them to their nests that are only a few meters away from photographers; their territorial fights normally start on the ground to be continued as areal battles as they patrol the sky against a setting African sun.
All of this is under the constant threat of different birds of prey looking for their next meal.
What is more, they share the Zambezi sky with around 480 other bird species.

Connecting with Nature's splendour
while capturing the endless
photographic action around you.
LOOKING IS NOT THE SAME AS SEEING
It is not difficult to offer you a game drive, hide or boat safari and show you animals in their Natural environment.
Running through a mammal or a bird checklist hinders you from slowing down and experiencing the true stories and lessons Nature has to offer.
Here is the problem we have with this limited approach!
The photographic opportunities are waisted if you can’t capture the true essence of the action and interactions between species at play.
CNP Safaris, as your tour leader, have developed the ability to not only look at a Nature scene, but to record the actions and interactions in such a way that you are left with not only an impactful portfolio of images, but ultimately a much deeper Nature connectedness, which in return, create personal wellness.
Instead of only looking, you will be able to truly see and capture Nature’s storytelling vividly!
As your photographic tour leader, we take responsibility for positioning and guiding you so that you can exponentially grow as a Nature photographer.
