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 \u2018A lakeshore walk with impalas\u2019. 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
