Go bats at Kasanka

Robin Pope Safaris - Kasanka Bat Safari - Late November, early December 2013

There are few wildlife phenomena that really stand out as extraordinary events, the bat migration in Kasanka is one of them.

Up to ten million straw-coloured fruit bats converge upon Kasanka National Park as the fruits of a local tree ripen. Then at sunset they all take off and fly out to forage. The sky is thick with bats.

You can view all this from the 60 ft high hide, in a tree top, next to the woodland.

From late November to early December Robin Pope Safaris run the Kasanka Bat Safari which gives guests a chance to witness this extraordinary bat migration.
