Kisumu Impala Sanctuary, Protected wildlife area near Lake Victoria in Kisumu County, Kenya.
The sanctuary spans less than one square kilometer, featuring walking trails that lead visitors from grasslands down to the shores of Lake Victoria.
The sanctuary received official protection status in 1992 following concerns about impalas being threatened by human settlement near the East African railway.
The Kisumu Impala Conservation Boat Race takes place each November, connecting local communities with wildlife preservation through competitive water sports.
The facility opens daily from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, accepting mobile money and credit card payments, with guided tours available for wildlife observation.
The sanctuary houses an animal orphanage that protects Sitatunga antelopes, along with 115 bird species and members of the big five game group.
Inception: 1992
