Arrival In Zambia | Transfer To Kasanka National Park | Relaxing

On arrival in Zambia, you will be welcomed and picked up by our Kubwa Five Safaris guide who will be holding an A4 paper with your name printed on it at Lusaka Airport and driven to Kasanka National Park. On arrival, you will check in at your hotel and relax for the rest of the day.

This is the moment when your safari in Zambia begins. We know you're excited to get out and start exploring the country's incredible wildlife. We'll get you out there as quickly as we can after a few brief formalities.

Among the most mind-blowing natural phenomena you’re ever likely to witness is the sight of the world’s largest mammal migration winging it over the forests of Kasanka National Park. Comprising up to 12 million fruit bats, this spectacular migration usually arrives in October and departs in December.

Your dinner and overnight stay will be at the Campsite.

Early Morning Game Drive | Bat Migration Experience

After breakfast, you will head out for an early morning game drive.

An early morning game drive in Kasanka National Park begins with a golden sunrise filtering through misty woodlands. The air is crisp, filled with birdsong as you traverse lush wetlands and forest trails. You might spot shy sitatunga antelope moving silently through the reeds or catch a glimpse of duiker, bushbuck, or even elephants. The stillness is magical, broken only by the sounds of nature awakening.

After that, you will go for the bat migration experience.

Witnessing the bat migration in Kasanka National Park is an awe-inspiring spectacle. Each year between October and December, over 10 million straw-colored fruit bats fill the skies at dusk, emerging from the Mushitu swamp forest in a breathtaking, swirling cloud. The air hums with movement as they search for fruit, creating a dramatic natural display.

Later, you will return to the lodge.

Your dinner and overnight stay will be at a campsite.
