Saiwa Swamp National Park, National park in Trans-Nzoia County, Kenya

Saiwa Swamp National Park is a 3 km² wetland near Kitale in Trans-Nzoia County, Kenya, and the country's smallest national park. It was created as a habitat for the sitatunga (Tragelaphus spekii), a swamp-dwelling antelope with elongated, splayed hooves for walking on muddy, vegetated ground. The park also holds trees, birds, insects, reptiles and several primate species.

The park was established in 1974 to protect a rare antelope species and its natural habitat from disappearing. This action began a long effort to safeguard the delicate ecosystem for future generations.

The park lies in Trans-Nzoia County near Kitale, an area of farmland and settlements. The name Saiwa comes from the local word for the swamp, and the wetland is fed by streams that local farmers rely on. Visitors can see the sitatunga, a rare swamp antelope that the park was created to protect.

Visitors can walk along pathways and climb observation towers throughout the park while vehicles are not permitted to protect the environment. The elevated viewpoints allow you to watch wildlife from safe vantage points without disturbing the habitat.

The sitatunga's long, splayed hooves let it walk on floating swamp vegetation, but on firm ground it moves clumsily and is easy prey. The African Wildlife Foundation supports conservation work for the species. Visitors may spot the antelope standing in shallow water among reeds.
