Kasanka National Park

This past Monday we were able to spend a night camping at Kasanka National Park, to witness the largest mammal migration. The park is about 100 kilometers away from our home, and has 8-10 million fruit bats who visit in November. In addition to the bats the park also is home to elephants, crocodiles, hippos, antelopes, and exotic bird species.
During our first night, we walked from our campsite along the river (which might have been a bit risky since we found out hippos frequented the area by our campsite) through the forest into the field where the bats congregate. At 7:00 in the  evening the night sky turned from clear and blue to a black filled sky like a tornado touching down spinning millions of bats in every direction; simply put it was one of the most spectacular scenes we have ever witnessed. Unfortunately the pictures below don't do it justice.

Welcome.
