Flight to Zambia, Heathrow connection

The next wednesday i flight to Zambia.

I land at Heathrow (from Italy) at 15.50pm and take off at 19:15pm (British
Airways). I have to transfer from Terminal 1 to Terminal 4 and i'm a bit
worried about my luggages.. (i heard bad stories about Heathrow and lost
luggages in flights connection).

What could be better?

1) Collect my luggages in Heathrow, transport them from Terminal 1 to
Terminal 4, recheck-in and board (is there enough time?).

2) Send the luggages directly to Lusaka (final destination)

Thanks

P.S.: sorry for my poor english...
