All three offer large open space to walk, however, always remember to stop, sit and simply wait; you’ll be surprised how close some of the wildlife will approach you, including the amazing greater flamingos. Species can vary throughout the year due to migrations, but there is always opportunity to view many different species of wildlife, including the usually elusive otter.
