Lake Munyanyange the host to Flamingos- Terrain Safaris Uganda.
Lake Munyanyange attracts birds that migrate from as far as Kenya and Canada among other countries. Birds including the White Browed Robbin Chats, Black Headed Gonoleks, Long Tailed Starlings, African Hoopoes, Winding, Zitting, Flamingos and Desert Cisticolas.
Lake Munyanyange is a small seasonal shallow crater lake located to the North East of Katwe town. The lake is an important habitat for migratory birds and has one of the largest concentrations of the lesser black-backed gulls, Larus fuscus and other waders.
These birds are Palearctic migrants arriving in October and departing in April. Thousands of these birds roost at the lake. Because it’s safe for them as at one stage of the year it turns muddy and that makes it difficult for wild animals to wade through the mud and prey on them. During this period, the birds roost in the middle of the lake.
“Most water bird species that migrate from Europe and within Africa, that is to say Palearctic and intra-African migrants, find it the ideal stop-over and roosting area,” so this make Lake Munyanyange turn out to be one of the best destinations for tourists to enjoy sporadic musical calls of birds imitating other birds calls.
