This striking bat was recorded during a survey in Ntchisi Forest Reserve, one of Malawi’s last rainforests 🌳

This month, in partnership with Land & Lake Safaris, we hosted a Bat Talk and Walk to raise awareness about straw-coloured fruit bats in Lilongwe.

Over 70 participants watched thousands of bats emerge from their roosts at dusk—an unforgettable experience!
