点评:We did this optional tour while on a Nile cruise. We boarded a motorboat to the island where the garden is located. You ascend steps from the dock to the entry way. There are toilets at the entryway and a restaurant. I didn't use either so can't comment.
We walked along the well-kept paved walkways almost a straight path from one end to the other. There are some side paths to overlook the Nile.
Many of the trees are marked. There are vendors all along the way to ask for you to buy what they have including small crocodiles. I think they were more for photos than for sale. I avoided all intersessions.
I was glad to see lots of birds on the island. We saw a whole tree of Reed Cormorants and two African Green Bee-Eaters. The Bee-Eaters are distinctive and easy to identify. There were some small birds we could not identify. We did take binoculars with us.
It was pleasant enough being on the island walking in the garden. The motorboat ride to the island was pleasant too.
The garden is on Kitchener Island, just alongside Elephantine Island. Apparently, there is also city ferry to the island.
We were here in October so maybe not the best month for catching the full beauty of the garden.
翻译:我们在尼罗河游轮之旅中参加了这个自费游览项目。我们乘坐快艇前往花园所在的岛屿。从码头拾级而上即可到达入口。入口处设有洗手间和餐厅。我没有使用,所以无法评价。
我们沿着维护良好的铺砌步道漫步,步道几乎笔直,从一端延伸到另一端。沿途有一些岔路可以俯瞰尼罗河。
许多树木都做了标记。沿途有很多小贩兜售商品,包括小鳄鱼。我觉得他们主要是想让你拍照而不是真的要卖。我尽量避开了所有推销环节。
很高兴看到岛上有很多鸟类。我们看到了一整棵树的芦苇鸬鹚和两只非洲绿蜂虎。蜂虎特征鲜明,很容易辨认。我们也看到了一些无法辨认的小鸟。我们带了望远镜。
在岛上漫步花园非常惬意。乘快艇前往岛屿的旅程也很愉快。花园位于基奇纳岛,紧邻象岛。据说,也有城市渡轮可以前往象岛。
我们十月份去的,所以可能不是欣赏花园全部美景的最佳月份。
