The Bats Have Arrived!

Posted on in News

The Kasanka Trust has just announced that the African straw-coloured fruit bats have started to arrive at the Bat Forest in Kasanka National Park.

This is the beginning of the world’s largest mammal migration in which about 10 million fruit eating bats arrive to congregate in the Bat Forest within Kasanka National Park. They bats set out at sunset to forage on ripe fruits in, and up to 60km away from, the park and then only return to roost in the Bat Forest as dawn breaks.

This unique and spectacular event only happens once a year, between October and December.
