KASANKA / BANGWEULU

TOUR CODE RTI-ZAM03 Length: 7 DAYS

Kasanka National Park is a small but fascinating park that has four rivers and eight lakes flowing into the Bengweulu Wetland. It offers brilliant angling opportunities, and bird watchers come here to see vast numbers of birds, not usually found in Southern Africa. One is the rare and peculiar looking Shoebill Stork, which resembles the extinct Dodo. The swamp forests of Kasanka, also harbour the rare antelope, the Sitatunga, which only lives in wetland areas and is rarely seen. You may also witness the spectacle of millions of fruit bats coming to roost. Although the park itself is breathtaking there are other attractions including the David Livingstone Memorial. It is here that the great explorer ended his final journey. The Nsala Caves contain some of Africa's best rock paintings. The most ancient of these strange artworks is thought to be 20,000 years old. Another of these attractions, and certainly not the least is the Kundalila Falls.
