Note: The amount of
lesser flamingoes has reduced some years ago, since the water level of the lake
has risen rapidly and more fresh water has come into the lake. This means that
there is less food for the flamingoes, since the water is less alkaline and the
Spirulina algae cannot survive. Many of the flamingos moved to other lakes like
Lake Magadi or Lake Natron and Lake Manyara in Tanzania. However there is plenty
to see in this national park.
