The lake is a world famous as the location of the greatest spectacle of birds in the world – the pink and white flamingos. The protected area is primarily for birds of which 400 to 500 species can be found here, from the fish eating birds such as pelicans and comorants which fishes on the Tilapia gramini that was introduced in the lake in 1960’s, to other birds found in the surrounding of the parks such as secretary birds, eagles and the vulturine guinea fowls.
