An incredible safari that enables you to witness the largest mammal migration known on planet earth and explore the wildlife of South Luangwa National Park. Each year up to ten million straw-coloured fruit bats descend upon Kasanka National Park, forming one of the most spectacular, yet largely unknown, wildlife spectacles and attracting wildlife thrill-seekers from around the world.

WHAT MAKES THIS TRIP EXTRAORDINARY: 1) Visit South Luangwa; home to 20-35,000 elephants, and a huge population of leopard. 2) Enjoy sundowners as up to 10 million bats rise from the trees in a huge cloud. 3) Watch sitatunga at the Fibwe Hide. 4) Stunning sunsets at Kasanka National Park.
