This is home to the rare Sitatunga antelope and impalas. Its focus is mainly keeping herds of impalas and zebras, thus it has the slogan ‘A lakeshore walk with impalas’. It is also an animal orphanage for lions, cheetahs, baboons, buffaloes and even jackals. The Impala Sanctuary is also a good place for bird watching with more than 115 bird species.
If you would like to have a sundowner and watch the sun go down and disappear into the lake, there is a sundowner tower which faces the Railway trail.
The impala sanctuary offers the ideal weekend getaway on the shores of Lake Victoria, the largest freshwater lake in Africa. Visitors to the Sanctuary should expect:
Game viewing of several primate species, giraffes, buffaloes, impalas and the rare Sitatunga antelope;
Bird watching with over 115 bird species recorded;
Boat riding in the glass bottom boats on lake Victoria; and
Hiking and nature trail to a rocky view area.
Entry to the sanctuary is between 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and entry fee payments are currently by cash.
