Beschrijving

Mangroves are groups of trees and shrubs that grow in the water, creating a habitat for biodiversity – and protecting against tidal surges, purifying surrounding water and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. in Mangrove National Park you can see a vast forest of lush, green trees with intricate roots and a water channel snaking through the middle – plus hundreds of bird and plant species including Flamingo, Westelijke Rifreiger and mottled crab. For a unique view, head to a high floor of one of the nearby hotels to see the true scale of the forest. It's even possible to get up close by taking a two-hour kayak tour through the middle of the trees.

Taking a boat cruise is a great way to explore the birds of mangroves. Make sure to put on plenty of sunscreen and stay hydrated, as some of the boat trips on offer can last for several hours.

Toegang

Mangrove National Park is just on the edge of the city. Head to Anantara Eastern Mangroves hotel for a range of activities set up by tour operators. For example, I took 'sea hawk boat tour' to explore the park.
