Towards the end of October and in November millions of straw-coloured fruit bats arrive from the Congo. This is known as the world’s biggest migration of mammals —a sight not to be missed! With some luck, you will be able to observe the rare and shy Sitatunga antelope (among other animals). The birdlife is amazing as well at this time of the year.

Liuwa Plains National Park
Liuwa Plains National Park
There are few roads in Liuwa Plain National Park. That, however, is part of the park’s attraction: around 3660km² of untouched Africa. Most of this is a vast honey-colored plain of grass, with just the occasional water pan, islands of raffia palms, or a small tree belt interrupting the scenery.
Thousands of wildebeest (estimated at close to 50,000), with zebras, tsessebes, and buffalos, group together, joining the more static resident roan antelopes, red lechwe, and reedbucks. The open plains are particularly good for Oribi antelopes. With all these come the predators: hyenas, wild dogs, and lions can be spotted. Beginning of November, thousands of wildebeest will gather in the plains.
You'll be camping in the bush (running water, showers, and flush toilets are present). (3x FB).
