For bird enthusiasts, the reserve is equally impressive, with nearly 500 recorded species, including 16 species of eagles, numerous hawks and falcons, six species of vultures, eight species of storks, four species of bustards—including the kori bustard, the world’s heaviest flying bird—and nine species of sunbirds.
