Flamingos at Jan Kok: how to plan your stop

At the Jan Kok salt pans you may see flamingos in their natural surroundings. This is not a zoo, which is exactly the appeal: the birds decide where they stand and how close they come, so do not plan your visit around a guaranteed close-up.

Zo plan je je bezoek

The salt pans fit naturally into a west-coast route. Keep it as a short stop and combine it with Daaibooi, Porto Mari, Cas Abao or lunch nearby.

Handig om te weten

Binoculars or a zoom lens make the stop more rewarding. Stay in accessible areas and give the birds space; the landscape and quiet are part of the experience.
