The lake is home to a variety of bird species, making it a haven for bird enthusiasts. You can spot pelicans, fish eagles, kingfishers, and many other avian species while exploring the lake’s shores.
Lake Hawassa is also a habitat for another fascinating creature: hippos, Africa’s iconic giants.

This is the perfect excursion to encounter the beauty and heart of Africa!
