Bat Season T-shirt Winner Announced!

The winner of the 2020 Kasanka Bat Season T-shirt competition is Maxie Fuchs:

I have been in Zambia for 2 years now and do not want to stay anywhere else! I am originally from South Africa, Pretoria. My friend told me about the competition and because we did the bat experience last year, and I love designing, I decided to enter. I believe in less is more when it comes to designs. I hope the design will contribute a lot to the Kasanka Trust. Even though it rained last year when we visited Kasanka, the bat experience was still amazing!! What a wonderful privilege to be able to experience it again!!”

Out of the many creative and amazing designs submitted, Maxie’s design was chosen and the T-shirts have now been printed and are ready to wear. Maxie is a keen supporter of wildlife conservation – you might have spotted her, and the GOGA team, at the 2020 Fuchs Elephant Charge, where they were placed 9th, also winning the NewGrowCo best checkpoint for looking after competitors and their vehicles.

The first 2020 Bat Season T-shirts are being worn by His Excellency, the French Ambassador to Zambia, and his lovely wife Marie-Christine. The Kasanka Trust thanks him for his major contributions towards the park’s projects and wishing them well on their next adventures.

The Trust also thanks all the participants who sent in their incredibly creative designs and to Signs of the Times, Lusaka for their rapid response in getting the T-shirts organized before the bats arrived!

You can support Kasanka National Park by buying and wearing this year’s Bat Season’s T-shirt and don’t forget the bats are now in the park, so it is a great time to visit. Go to www.kasanka.com to find out more and check out the Trust’s Facebook page to see this year’s specials.
