Four African game and wildlife migrations
SafariBookings.com has highlighted four African game and wildlife migrations in 2019, worthy of making the travel 'bucket list'.
Kasanka National Park
The Kasanka National Park, a small park in northern Zambia, is the temporary home of around eight million straw-coloured fruit bats, described by SafariBookings experts as a breath-taking phenomenon.
From October through till December, at dusk the sky is alive with fruit bats for a night feeding in the swamp forests abundant fruit trees.
Carmine Bee-Eaters flocking to Luangwa River
The migration of Carmine Bee-Eaters flocking to Luangwa River in Zambia from Tanzania and Mozambique, is a genuine spectacle.
The banks of the river see thousands of colourful and vibrant bee-eaters gather between August and November, as the banks provide the perfect breeding ground.
Tarangire
Tarangire, one of just a few permanent water sources during the dry season in Tanzania, sees herds of up to 300 elephants migrate from miles around to the waterhole, which also attracts an array of animals.
The migration takes place from June, peaking through August and October.
The Makgadikgadi migration
The Makgadikgadi migration sees over 30,000 game, primarily zebra, migrate from the Boteti river to Makgadikgadi salt pans in Botswana, making it the second largest animal migration in Africa .
Once submerged by a lake the size of Switzerland, Botswana's huge salt pans is home to just a few remote camps, providing a setting of wilderness in which to witness the migration spectacle during the months of November to April, with the peak time being early March.
