A unique safari dedicated to the conservation of big cats and other predators will take place in November 2024 for wildlife enthusiasts who want to understand what it takes to preserve these powerful animals in their natural habitat.

Organized by Green Safaris, the Carnivore Research Safari will combine classic safari activities such as game drives, nature walks and boat rides, with Panthera and Zambian Carnivore Program (ZCP) teams working to study, track, monitor and ultimately saving Zambian leopards, lions, hyenas, wild dogs and other predators. Green Safaris uses electric safari vehicles so you can enjoy real bush sounds without the telltale hum of a diesel engine.
