Kasanka National Park
Kasanka National Park in the Northern Region of Zambia is run by The Kasanka Trust, a charity working to conserve and develop it after it was almost in danger of becoming obsolete in the 1990’s. This peaceful sanctuary, situated on the south western edge of the Lake Bangweulu basin, is one of Zambia’s smallest national parks. It is so well endowed with rivers, lakes and wetlands, forests, lagoons, meadows and dambos that it supports a uniquely wide range of animals and abundant birds and fish. Kasanka is a beautiful wilderness of woodland, plains, lakes, rivers and swamps. As well as its attraction for visitors it forms a valuable protected area for many endangered species. Kasanka is Zambia's only 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. Kasanka National Park and the adjacent Bangweulu Wetlands make very rewarding destinations for visitors seeking to delve deeper into Africa's hidden corners.
