Photography hides and tours
Our photography hides are located in a scenic and bird-rich area of the famous Kiskunság National Park, only an hour’s drive south of Budapest airport. There is comfortable accommodation in the area close to the hides and tasty local food is readily available.
We are happy to cater for small groups or individual photographers, in any season, and can provide daily updated information on species and possibilities.
Hides
Our hides are set by cleverly designed drinking stations at the forest edge, others by marshes or beside the shallow water of alkaline lakes. We also have a Red-footed Falcon tower hide for three photographers. Seasonal mobile hides follow the movement of birds or are close to their breeding areas. These offer tremendous possibilities for close-up bird photography, where each day might bring something new.
