The island was given to Lord Horacio Kitchener. He turned the entire island into a botanical garden in the 1928. The Kirchener's Island is a peaceful paradise, full of shady trees, beautiful flowers and unusual plants. The island is a haven for rare exotic birds and you'll surely get a glimpse of their colourful plumage in the branches of most of the trees while strolling down its sidewalks on a quiet afternoon escaping your hectic holiday.
