 Kasanka is Zambia’s
first
national park under private management and is entirely reliant on
tourism revenue and charitable funding. It is a valuable
conservation area with diverse flora and fauna including many
endangered species and exceptional birdlife.
The
Bangweulu wetlands, just north of Kasanka are one of Africa’s most
spectacular wildlife secrets with over 100,000 Black Lechwe and the
world’s most visible Shoebill storks.
