Kasanka Bat Safari - 27 November 2010
8 days/ 7 nights
Price US$4017 per person sharing
There are a few wildlife phenomena that really stand out extraordinary events. The wildebeest migration in East Africa, the monarch butterflies arriving in Mexico come to mind. Well this safari visiting the bats in Kasanka is amongst those top events in the wildlife calendar. Over a million “straw-coloured fruit bats” converge upon Kasanka National Park as the fruits of a local tree ripen. These bats roost in a specific woodland and literally cover the trunks of the trees like thick icing. Then at sunset they all take off and fly out to forage. The sky is literally thick with bats. You can view all this from the 60 ft high hide, in a tree top, next to the woodland. And from this hide, during the day you will see many sitatunga in the swamp below.
