    Know Kenya: South Island National Park/HILLARY BETT

    The South Island National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognised for its unique geology and rich biodiversity.

    The park is home to large Nile crocodile populations, hippos, and various fish species, making it a hotspot for aquatic life.

    Birdlife is abundant, with species such as African skimmers, flamingos, and cormorants commonly seen.

    The area can be extremely hot and dry, so visitors should be prepared for harsh climatic conditions.

    Access is mainly by boat from Kalokol or Loiyangalani, and the park is managed by the Kenya Wildlife Service.
