Tracking Impalas at Kisumu Impala Sanctuary — If you’re looking for a unique wildlife experience, Kisumu Impala Sanctuary is the perfect destination. Nestled near Lake Victoria, this sanctuary offers an intimate opportunity to walk among free-roaming impalas and zebras in a serene lakeside environment. It also serves as a protective haven for animals in need of special care in the densely populated Kisumu region.
In addition to the impalas, the sanctuary is home to an animal orphanage that shelters rescued lions, leopards, cheetahs, baboons, hyenas, jackals, bush duikers, bushbucks, and buffalo. Monitor lizards and zebras roam freely within the sanctuary, adding to the immersive experience. One of the highlights here is the lakeshore walk, where you can film or simply enjoy the company of impalas with the stunning backdrop of Lake Victoria.
