Lake Nyaguo is one of the satellite lakes of the Lake Kyoga basin. The lake is rich in diversity of native Nile crocodiles, reptile and fish species, some of which have disappeared from Lake Victoria and Kyoga. Lake Nyaguo is also habitat for globally threatened bird species such as the Grey Crowned Crane, Shoebill and Papyrus Gonolek. The lake is not only a potential tourist destination, but a catchment area for the districts of Ngora, Kumi and Pallisa as well.
