• Kisumu Impala Sanctuary
  "Impala Park, Nature Within The City."
  "I was here on 20th. April 2013. I liked the cool atmosphere in the park. It's like being in a tropical forest. It a great contrast to the stifling heat just a few meters from the park. The bird sounds reminded me of my childhood when the outdoors and the forest were the only playthings we had. With ..."the guards un-obstrusively around I felt secure to go around the well-kept paths through the sanctuary all along keeping my camera busy.

The park offices are on the mainland together with a lush picnic /camping ground. The park itself is a 10-minute motorboat lau..."nch into the open lake.

  "Viewing rhino, lions, chetahs,hyena and others conviniently"
  "I recently visited Kisumu Impala sanctuary and I was excited to see that they have increased the number of animals in the sanctuary. It now has all the major carnivores and a rhino among others. After game viewing I enjoyed sitting by the lake beach within the sanctuary as I observed gazelles an..."d zebras graze beside me. The sanctuary is conveniently located in the city and I recommend anybody passing through Kisumu to visit it. " More >
