Description
Discover the Pemba Flying Foxes at Kidike Sanctuary on a guided tour. Learn about their biology and role in forest regeneration, and witness them take flight at dusk.
Begin your tour with a pickup from your accommodation and head to the serene Kidike Sanctuary. Walk beneath the canopy of ancient fig and breadfruit trees, where thousands of these large fruit bats roost together, hanging like lanterns from the branches.
With wingspans stretching up to 1.6 meters and rich reddish-gold fur that glows in the sun, these bats are a breathtaking sight—and surprisingly peaceful. Local guides share insights into their biology and their crucial role in forest regeneration, as they spread seeds across the island’s wild landscapes.
As the day fades, watch the bats take to the skies in great flocks, creating a magical silhouette against the golden sky. More than just a wildlife experience, the tour is also a story of successful grassroots conservation—once nearly extinct due to habitat loss and hunting, the flying foxes now thrive, protected by community-led initiatives and sustainable ecotourism that directly benefits local villages.
