Working with the team at ‘Zambia travel magazine’ we provided an article for their most recent publication of Travel and Leisure, Zambia & Zimbabwe Magazine. Here you can read more about Kasanka National Park and the work of Kasanka Trust.

An interesting snap-shot in the ongoing study of fruit bats at Kasanka National Park. A ground-breaking piece of investigative work using AI and go-pro cameras, deployed over a few days in 2019, is helping to better estimate the number of bats that visit the National Park!

We used a bunch of @GoPro cameras and a fancy AI program by @ben_koger to count the bats @KasankaTrust and found it to be the largest (biomass) in the world. See how we did it and how these bats help protect the park in this new short video https://t.co/0439tAjD7H

Side-striped jackals

If you happen to join one of our evening game drives you might be lucky to spot the elusive side-striped jackals.

Side-striped jackals are at home in the forested areas as much as the grasslands and for that reason they can be difficult to spot.

I have just glimpsed an African wildcat. Almost as elusive as the European wildcat that closes our book (officially published today), I have no photo but a beautiful memory.
Our next adventure @TimKendall70? #wildlife #zambia #books #nature

Such beautiful animals and it's always a pleasure to see them during an evening safari. Thanks for sharing this great footage, @MathewsFiona !

African civet. Not a cat, and actually more closely related to a mongoose.
Had a hunch there might be one around, so popped out a camera trap on our last night @KasankaTrust. What a souvenir! #wildlife #conservation @SussexLifeSci Field Course.

A total of 20 aspiring BSc and MSc students and 4 staff members from the University of Sussex joined Kasanka Trust staff for an epic bush experience. During their visit students had the chance to learn new field skills from experienced members of the Kasanka team..

A fantastic find by Fiona Mathews during an evening walk here at Kasanka!

[Fiona Mathews @MathewsFiona]

Excited to share my find from last night. The very elusive Western serpentine skink. Look at his tiny legs! There was excitement in 2015 when one was spotted alive in Kenya https://t.co/4nLRcCEgCV. Know of any others? @KasankaTrust #Zambia #reptiles #wildlife @SussexUni fieldtrip

Whilst enjoying sundowners with @KasankaTrust you never know what you might see. Last night visitors enjoyed encounters with a Verreaux's eagle owl, palm-nut vulture and spotted eagle-owls...

@_BCT_ Together we can make a difference for bats and biodiversity across the world! Thank you!

[The Kasanka Trust @KasankaTrust]

Kasanka’s reach is international and we thank our friends and colleagues at NGOs across the globe, like @_BCT_ (a UK based bat conservation NGO) who seek to support Kasanka Trust’s efforts to conserve the rich biodiversity in the national park.
