100% positive that these are horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus)
Nice spotting of a horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus sp)
Most likely, a Cape Serotine (Neoromicia/Pipistrellus capensis):

However, other "pipistrelles" cannot be confidently excluded.

Could you split this into 2 spottings? The 1st photo shows a sheath-tailed bat (fam. Emballonuridae), the 2nd photo a woolly bat (Kerivoula sp.).

Great observation of an Indian Flying Fox (Pteropus giganteus)!
Nice! These are proboscis bats (Rhynchonycteris naso).
In case you haven't noticed: it's a mother with her suckling young clinging to her
Nice shot of a New World leave-nosed bat (Phyllostomidae)
