The park’s namesake is a shallow, salt lake covering a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons. It is home to thousands of wading birds, including flamingos and over 500 other bird species. In the park’s thick evergreen forest, you may see baboons and elephants, and be on the lookout for the famous tree-climbing lions that have become renowned throughout Africa.
