Wildlife of the Korgalzhyn Steppe

Part of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Korgalzhyn is known for its iconic representation of Kazakh’s steppe environment with 10 chains of lakes and more than 300 species of birds known to have been spotted in this area.

You may also have the opportunity to see variety of wildlife in their natural habitat, including thousands of pink flamingos who migrated from Africa to Korgalzhyn during the May-August season.
