Kasanka Trust

The Kasanka Trust is a wildlife charity based in Zambia, the UK and the Netherlands, which manages the Kasanka National Park in Zambia's Central province and hosts visitors and volunteers to Kasanka and the Bangweulu. Kasanka is Zambia's first 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. The Bangweulu wetlands, just north of Kasanka are one of Africa's most spectacular wildlife secrets with over 100,000 Black Lechwe and the world's most visible Shoebills. Kasanka National Park and the adjacent Bangweulu Wetlands make very rewarding destinations for visitors seeking to delve deeper into Africa's hidden corners. There are great opportunities for education and research in a real wilderness but with good supportive infrastructure. The Trust welcomes volunteers for both conservation and research.
