An African Safari through Zambia is the bucket list adventure of a lifetime in one of the most underrated destinations in the world. Deep inside South Luangwa National Park, search for Africa’s “Big 5” as we set out to film them all. But Zambia’s wildlife is so much more diverse than just the “Big 5”. For the ultimate safari experience, leave the safety of the safari vehicle behind to track leopards and lions on South Luangwa’s world-renowned walking safaris. Cap it all off with sundowner cocktails in the river, another of South Luangwa’s unique safari pastimes.
From there, we’re off to Kasanka National Park to witness one of Africa’s best-kept secrets: the annual bat migration. Every evening, watch millions of fruit bats fill the sky as they emerge from Kasanka’s bat forest in search of food. At its peak, up to 10 million bats migrating through Kasanka National Park make it the largest mammal migration in the world. It’s one of the most unique and magical sights you’ll ever see.
Unfortunately, Kasanka’s bats are some of the most misunderstood and threatened creatures out there, despite being so valuable to both economies and ecosystems. With the help of Merlin Tuttle’s Bat Conservation, get an inside look at the research being done at Kasanka National Park to protect these precious and invaluable creatures. It’s all in just a few short weeks in our most memorable adventure yet!
