Zambia Africa - annual bat migration
Zambia Bat Migration – African Travel, Inc.

Halloween can be a scary experience for many people with eerie tales of ghosts, demons and goblins.

Bats have long been associated with Halloween. How about an unforgettable experience viewing literally millions of bats? Well you can in the Kasanka National Park of Zambia, Africa.

Each year between October and December, around eight million fruit bats fill the skies of Zambia as arrive from the Congo to feed on the wild musuku fruits in Kasanka National Park.

Africa has long been a desired destination for all the incredible array of wildlife. Africa offers so much, such as the great migration in the Serengeti, tracking mountain gorillas in Parc National des Volcans in Rwanda, gliding silently along the Zambezi River viewing wildlife from a canoe, learning desert survival skills from a bushman in the Kalahari in Botswana or sipping champagne while watching the sun descend into the Atlantic from a private balcony in Cape Town.

This amazing annual bat spectacle event has been called the world’s largest mammal migration. The fruit bats arrive every year in massive numbers looking to settle in the Zambian fruit trees and cover the tree trunks like a thick blanket.

But once the sun sets, it’s time to take flight. The fruit bats fill the skies to go forage.

African Travel, Inc. has been in business since 1976 and has sent over 100,000 adventurers and safari guests on their dream Africa experience. The truly are safari specialists.

    Enjoy Parrotfish Run at Royal Chundu – Zambia’s Newest Luxury Resort

    Royal Chundu Lodge - Zambia
    Royal Chundu

    Royal Chundu is the newest luxury resort in Zambia and perched on the banks of the Zambezi River upstream, from magnificent Victoria Falls.

    One of the biggest celebrations in Africa is the famous Parrotfish Run. This event marks the journey of millions of fish that are caught in the main stream of the Zambezi River as the fish swim down the river for miles, much to the benefit of local fishermen.

    Parrotfish Run kicks off on June 1 and is both a local and seasonal event that occurs between June and August. Parrotfish Run is hosted by the luxurious Royal Chundu hotel.

    Royal Chundu is comprised of two luxurious lodges: the River Lodge holds 10 spacious riverfront suites while the Island Lodge has 4 exquisite villas located on private Katombora Island.

    Hotel guests at Royal Chundu will have the special opportunity to take part in this cultural event occurring near the property where they will see catches like the prized African Tigerfish to the iconic and vibrant Parrotfish.

    View how local fishermen use hand-woven baskets made of reeds and palm tree leaves to catch the fish. A significant fact is that the amount of fish caught provides enough sustenance to last the local villages an entire year.

    In addition, the Parrotfish Run coincides with a natural phenomenon known as the Lunar Rainbow. While the typical rainbow appears through direct sunlight, the rare Lunar Rainbow occurs from light reflected from the moon’s surface. From the vantage point of Victoria Falls, one of the largest waterfalls in the world, the experience is unlike any other.

    For wildlife lover, visiting Zambia and staying at Royal Chundu is ideal. The luxury hotel is perfectly situated among unspoiled southern African wildlife such as elephants, crocodiles, hippos, and over 400 species of birds.

    Royal Chundu offers all of the classic Victoria Falls activities but with a more private and exclusive location. While at the lodge, guests can experience canoeing trips, sunset river cruises, fishing and birding excursions, cultural village visits, fine dining and much more.
