The Park is situated on the South-western edge of Lake Bangweulu, and with a surface area of 450 square kilometres. Kasankas biggest wildlife attraction is the annual fruit-bat migration; the largest mammal migration on Earth!. October to December every year about 10 million Straw-coloured fruit bats migrate from across central Africa to a small patch of swamp forest in the centre of the park. The bats can be witnessed leaving the forest at dusk against a backdrop of spectacular sunsets and scattered thunderstorms to feed on bountiful fruit in the surrounding woodlands.
Wildlife
The park is home to an incredible 479 bird species and 114 mammals, among them the secretive, semi-aquatic Sitatunga, and a small but recovering elephant population.
