Kasanka National Park Safari Trips & Tours

Forget chasing big game and visit Kasanka for the beautiful fauna and incredible bat migration.
With just under 400 square kilometres of attractive papyrus marshes and forests sprinkled amid classic miombo woodlands, Zambia’s Kasanka National Park is diminutive but utterly beautiful. The incredible biodiversity also belies its miniature stature and in amongst the wetland habitats, you’ll find intriguing mammals, birds and reptiles including the blue monkey, sitatunga antelope, marsh mongoose and slender-snouted crocodile. But what the park is really famous for is the bat migration in which over 10 million fruit bats flock to the fruits in the forest, ripened by the onset of the rains. The best vantage points are the treehouse platforms and hides dotted around the area but you’ll have to be quick – the bats begin arriving at the end of October and are almost entirely gone by December.
