Several rare species are abundant in the park, including sitatunga, wattled crane, Ross’s Lourie and Blue Monkeys. In addition, Kasanka is also host to a unique and spectacular congregation of several million Straw-Coloured Fruitbats every November and December. The birdlife in the area is also spectacular with over 410 species identified including many rare and endangered species; contact us for a current bird list.
