The calm waters offer an intimate look at aquatic life and incredible birdwatching opportunities—with over 400 species recorded, it's a birder’s paradise. Step onto Crescent Island, a private sanctuary where you can enjoy a walking safari among freely roaming animals like giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and wildebeests.
