Flamingo Season on the Abijata-Shalla Lakes

Abijata-Shalla National Park is renowned worldwide as a birdwatcher's paradise with over 360 documented avian species. The contrasting depths of shallow Abijata and the subterranean sulfur depths of Shalla create ideal feeding grounds for lesser and greater flamingos.

Steam rises from natural bubbling hot springs along the rim of Lake Shalla, creating surreal thermal pools where mineral-rich waters soothe travelers and provide essential minerals to local wildlife.

Collaborative conservation between local communities and park rangers ensures that water levels and fragile shoreline nesting territories remain pristine year-round.
