The National Park is situated directly to the sea and was founded in the year 1985 to protect the coastal region and the lagoon. He encloses approx. 32.000 hectares and reaches from small fisherman place Yzerfontein up to Langebaan. The lagoon is well known among birdwatchers as one of the bigest biotopes of the world. 250 different bird species, 5000 Flamingos and colonies of up to 200.000 sea birds can be enjoyed. Next to that you find also many reptiles and smaller mammals in the park like antelopes, goats, kudus, zebras, gnus and jumping-goats. But also the flora is worth a visit. |
