With Intaka Island’s central proximity and large diversity of plant, insect and bird life it has become a firm favorite with wild-life photographers. The bird hides have become a second home at sunrise for the more dedicated photographers, whilst others simply enjoy improving their skills and, through their lens, enjoying what the wetland has to offer.Home to over 120 species of birds, Intaka Island is a must for any bird watcher! Although a lot of activity can be spotted throughout the island, two designated bird hides have been constructed at key areas to maximise your enjoyment and chances of spotting the more elusive birds or the notoriously camera shy water-mongoose.
