FAQs – Central Island National Park

Q: When is the best time for bird watching?
A: The dry season from December to March attracts flamingos, pelicans, and migratory birds to the lake shores. Observers can see large flocks feeding and nesting. Early morning provides calm waters for photography and spotting crocodiles.
Q: Can visitors swim or fish in the lake?
A: Swimming is not advised due to crocodiles and hippos. Fishing tours with guides are available and offer a safe way to experience local aquatic life. Experienced guides teach sustainable fishing methods.
