Kasanka National Park

Kasanka National Park

Der Kasanka-Nationalpark ist mit 450 km² der kleinste Nationalpark in Sambia und liegt südwestlichen des Bangweulusees in den Bangweulusümpfen westlich vor dem Muchinga-Gebirge. Er umfasst Flüsse, Seen, Lagunen, Grassland, Sumpfland und Miombowald.

Wie die Bangweulusümpfe bietet der Park eine große Vielzahl von Vogelarten, darunter sehr seltene wie die Fischeule und die Pygmyente, und reichlich Antilopen, darunter die seltene Sitatungaantilope und die schwarze Lechwe. Daneben gibt es Elefanten, Flusspferde, Krokodile, Gnus, Schilf- und Wasserböcke.

Der Park wird seit 1985 von Kasanka Trust Ltd. professionell touristisch erschlossen und betreut. Es werden Camps, Chalets, Lodges, Rundflüge und -fahrten geboten, ebenso wie Charterflüge von Lusaka und wieder zurück.
