The grounds are lovely. Situated right on the lake, you can enjoy the sparkling blue water while zebras graze freely and monkeys frolic. The captive animals are quite stunning as well and easy to spot. My only criticism is that while most of the habitats were spacious and enhanced with trees and such, some seemed a bit small and lacked shade or greenery.

Beautiful place... I have seen the zebra and giraffe very close and the park is well maintained. It has very good area and it is all well directed with necessary sign boards and staff. No one will find it difficult to make a visit all the areas. Worth visiting.

I remember it from my high school visits.. an amazing park

It's a quiet, calm place to walk around. They have allowed the zebras to roam freely. Amongst the caged animals are, ostrich, Warthog,lions,leopard, monkeys,baboons and many more. The entrance fee is 250 per head for adults. You can also have a boat ride at the park.

Awesome place for a nature walk. A few caged animals with a history but not so much. Atleast the king of the jungle rules there. You can get a boat ride into the lake. Affordable rates. It's ok for a picnic but you may have to share it with the monkeys. It's not a big place to run wild but the air is awesome. Do not carry plastic bottles... We are keeping the place clean. Do NOT feed the animals. Oh.. plenty of hyacinths. Overall.. it's an awesome place for you and your family especially the children to learn a thing or two about animals.

For nature lovers, this is the ideal place in Kisumu to get away from the hustle bustle of the City and get to relax and soak yourself in the quietness of this green environment just by the lake. While taking a nature walk, you'll get to meet the zebras and sitatunga antelopes that are roaming freely in the sanctuary. There are a few animals kept; lions, warthog, ostrich, hyena,leopard etc. There's also an option of boat riding that ranges from around 15USD to 150USD depending on the time and distance of the ride. A picnic and campsite is also available but do not forget your mosquito repellents if you choose to camp. Catch the best sunset views at Impala Sanctuary.

This is a national park, conserving almost all of the big five animals in Kenya, I think they only lack the elephant. It is under the management of the Kenya wildlife service and they are well trained personnel who handle all matters wildlife. I always feel safe around the premise due to the friendly personnel who work hand in hand to help anyone. I've been to the place around 10 different times because of the serenity of the nature there, some animals like the monkeys, impalas and zebras are just free so you get to walk alongside them while the most fierce ones are caged. The experience is just intriguing.

Great place to see some of our wildlife in captivity. It's a bit expansive. Walking around the sanctuary took me about 1-1/2 hours so come prepared with water and a snack. It borders the lake so at most points you can see the lake. It has around 4 picnic sites with wooden benches to sit and enjoy a meal. You can also get boat rides onto the lake. There is also a railway line trail but I didn't go down the trail....

This is a must visit for all. The fact that you can enjoy a stroll right next to a zebra was mind blowing to us. The guides are very knowledgeable of the species they are safe guarding. Their park fees are fair for both residents and non residents.

This is a perfect place about wild animals outside the national parks. Lists of school from.the western region visit here and there are very informative tour guides to help you along at a small fee. For folks who may have been to the animal orphanage in Nairobi, it might be on the smaller side. For a time.out with young ones though, it doesn't get 9ld seeing wild animals.

I experienced walking with wildlife beautiful place

Nice place to go take a walk around as you watch wild animals in their natural habitat..its also very pocket friendly!

I can't get enough of this place. Nature is always beautiful

Its a peaceful and relaxing place where you can enjoy the natural beauty that abounds there.its hosts the beautiful antelopes,buffallo,giraffes,cheetahs,hyena,monkeys,warthog,leopard and the magnificent bird the parrot.it also has campsites and a never to forget view of the great lake victoria.there is also a lodge called eco lodge in the sanctuary for accomodation for local and international tourists.its child friendly and is definately a place to be with family abd friends.

Situated in the upmarket Milimani Estate, bordering Kisumu’s State Lodge, Kisumu Impala Sanctuary is a favourite for many visitors. It is owned and managed by Kenya Wildlife Service. The entrance fee is pocket friendly to both individuals and groups. The park has free roaming impalas and hippos. There are also lions, hyenas, ostriches, cheetah among others in confined areas. You can decide to take a meal at Eco Lodge strategically located inside the park but you must to part with many thousands.

Good

Its a great roundabout in the town.

For fresh groceries

Oldest street in Kisumu town, clean and safe to walk around. Kisumu has the pride of being the most clean city in east and central Africa, local are very friendly and welcome There are numerous hotels and shopping centers within the town most popular one's being Mega plaza, swan center, quick matt and oile market

Good place

Good area

No traffic and it is nice place

Nice

It is amazing place located at the farthest end of jomo Kenyatta sports ground in kisumu,,next to it is the little park children do skating. There are various hotels with most delicious fish , ugali and local vegetables. Most of tourists who do kisumu city tour never misses this place as it is a unique spot within the city,,actually a pond in a city. It provides very beautiful scenery for photo taking and hangouts. N/B There is a large notice sign of NO SWIMMING.

Liked the place, really nice

My kids loved the place I'll be back

It is the main stage for kisumu town where all vihecles to different routes line to pick there customers

Clean city as it is

This place is a busy and noisy place. No adequate packing.

This place is noise free and as you walk through the woods watching the animals at different angles you feel so nice this is the place to go several recreational activities including boat riding . Getting to know and see wild animals face to face

Nice place to interact with impalas, zebras, monkeys, giraffe and many others, it's better than most zoos since some animals are free to roam and caged ones have a more natural habitat

The place is run down and barely maintained plus there weren't all the animals that we we told at the entry point. KWS should try to maintain the park and also shorten the payment procedure as you are told to login to ecitzen portal in order to make entry payment

Felt delightful as you walk through the woods. The scenery is great and the juices were natural and tasty😋 There are animals such as impalas, giraffes, lions,zebras and ostriches. However, I didn't see any elephants.

Get up close and learn about amazing animals. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Excellent resource to learn about animal rescue.

The place is so attractive to tour have been there before!!!!

Wonderful place to be at... exceeded my expectations... Impala but what I loved the most is interacting with the monkeys. The feeling was out of this world.. tranquility, serenity I mean it’s heart healing..

Tourism attraction centre,famous for primary and secondary school Tours.

It is located approximately 3 kilometres from Kisumu CBD. It is a beautiful sanctuary that hosts impalas, vervet monkeys, the rare sitatunga antelope, buffalos, giraffes, cheetahs, zebras and other primates. It is also home to five campsites with spectacular views of Lake Victoria, the world’s second largest freshwater lake. The sanctuary is a perfect spot for birdwatching, nature walks, boat rides and hiking activities.

We had a bit of a snarl up checking in with a number of students getting in as well for a school trip. I suggest you come to the sanctuary between Monday - Wednesday. The leopard was the star of the show for me 😍

Impala and zebra are nice and roaming around but the enclosed animals don't look too comfortable.

More lions in place... Though the place has lost its former Glory... No maintainance as before, the girrafes, the Rhino no longer in that place....

Most awesomest place ever!

Nice picnic site

Place to be excellent friendly

Relaxed

It’s ok but it’s expensive for what you see and what you get it would be nice if it was Cheaper for white people because it is a bit much for what you see my mum said that if it was the same as local price she would go weekly for a picknick

Place to be when you need to unwind

Very natural place for relaxing, with a variety of wildlife, birds and a beautiful view of the lake. It's also a very nice camping site and an hotel is available as well.

It's among the best tourist attractions in Nyanza region

Its a cool place. Has Lions, cheetah, leopard, ostrich, zebra, monkeys , giraffe, warthog and not to forget the beatiful view of the lake. The animals are all caged apart from the zebras and monkey.After a nice walk around you can take a boat ride .Dunga beach is just nearby where you can easily get fresh fish for lunch/dinner to finish up your trip.

(Translated by Google) A fantastic place where you can not only see zebras and antelopes, but also go between them. Access to Lake Victoria adds charm. (Original) Rewelacyjne miejsce, gdzie można nie tylko zobaczyć zebry i antylopy, ale także przejść się pomiędzy nimi. Uroku dodaje dostęp do Jeziora Wiktoria.

A cool place to be...loved it❤

Loved the place

Park entry Adult and Child citizen 215 Adult Resident 300 and Child 170 Lions Cheetah Lake Victoria Eco Lodge

Nc place to rlax from busy daily hustle

Full of adventures and magic scenes

I loved my visit to Kisumu Impala Sanctuary in Kisumu, Kenya. They have variety of animals and the sanctuary is easily accessible from Kisumu Town. If you want to see the impalas you should visit this place in the evening. #letsguide #ImpalaSanctuary

Best place for school touring and enjoy seeing our wild nature which they normally watch on Tv

(Translated by Google) You do not deserve to visit only 5 animals and sat down, boring and expensive (Original) لاتستحق الزياره فقط 5 حيونات وجلسه ممله والدخول غالي

Serene

Visitors enjoy cool breeze from the lake

Great park with quite a few animals and great views of lake Victoria

It was awesome

This sanctuary unlike most has both caged animals like buffaloes, cheetahs, lions and uncaged animals like Zebras and deers that you literally share the same paths with. I even tried taking a selfie with a zebra.

Awesome

AN EXCELLENT PLACE FOR FAMILY OUTINGS OR SUNDAY OUT AFTER CHURCH OUTINGS. VERY POCKET FRIENDLY PLACE WITH A COOL AMBIANCE.

👍

Amazing

👍😍😍

Alot of fun

Great zoo to be visited

We found the park to be a bit run down, but it's a nice place to walk. Lots of monkeys and impalas.

Best experience

Missing some animals

Relaxing environment with a cool serene to view. Its a place to relax after a long day at work.

One of the most iconic land marks of Kisumu CBD

Typical but very light traffic.

A tourist attraction site near Kenyatta Sports Grounds. People come here to take photos and merry making.

Kisumu night life is a spectacle you wouldn't want to miss out on

It is a buzy road with different activities going on.

Good infrastructure

A dual carriage road within Kisumu CBD

A reliable source of electrical appliances

Traffic jam in the morning and in the evening.

Kisumu my home

A busy street

Needs improvement

In this particular area, you will find Banking, Post office, Super market, classic restaurants, easy transportation, security is up to date, just name it, it's all in this street.

Cool place

Home of cereals and fruits

Looks beautiful due to the surrounding buildings in the town, the road is large enough hence reducing traffic jam.

City on the lake side

Coolest place

Good

Most major banks, outlets, shops, godowns are located

Great juction in kisumu next to swan centre and fanaka house in kisumu

Okay

Clean as always

The lions look a little bored being caged up. I am not sure the park is big enough to cage so many animals. But at least we get to see a lion in Kisumu

Highway connecting to the recreational area

Cool place but busy

Its si natural

nice photo place

Excellent

Much needs to be done by Kisumu County Government.

The animals were so full of life in a great setting...

You can see the lions, but the cage ain't huge and it's a bit depressing

Such a great place

Nice but need upgrade

This is definitely a great place to visit you and your family including children. The whole place impala park is a great place generally. In addition the Impala parks lion cage has good views and if lucky you can get the animal king roaring mightily. I saw a lion and a lioness.

Awesome place. A small eden within a busy ecosystem.

Pros-Qonderful flora and fauna. Cons-The lack of directions are a bit of a problem.

Well, you get to see a few caged animals. I recommend this place if you'll do something else alongside viewing like a picnic by the lake then it's totally worth it!

Loved it

Amazing

My kids had a blast

The best place to be

Tried to convince my friends to climb inside for $500 but they refused!

Great place. I had no idea these big cats have horrible smell.

You get to watch the wardens feed the Lions,though this isn't done everyday

Enjoyable place

Beautiful and fun

The lions noon were in the shade hidden best time 3 pm feeding time

The only park in kisumu with a lion

The three lions there were awesome. There was one sad lion tho 😥

The park looks deserted than afew years back

I miss this place. It's cool & Ideal for family outings & off town relaxation. Ref. Nice sandy lake Victoria shores as you interact with freely grazing animals like impala & zebra or the gaged carnivorous like the king Lions, tigers, hyenas & leopard. Not to forget gaged Ostriches, the mighty buffalo, the majestic giraffe among others.

Good

For fresh vegetables ,fruits that's the place to be

The place to get the best fresh fish

C ome buy your household needs right here in one roof.

Love the place. Good reception

Its not a bad place. So i recommend it

You get fresh fruits at affordable price

At first sight very chaotic to an European, but it turns out to be very organized, people are quite helpful

Very noisy

A good place to shop

Not clean. Untidy..

Best place to buy fresh groceries

Neatly done and organized

Interesting place to shop food staff

Security is average

We were taken around with Japheth, who was kind and interesting. The place is nice and I highly recommend

The small park allows also young visitors to experience Kenyan famous Lion, Leopard and Buffalo. A boat tour, not included in the entrance fee takes you to the close hippo place. The park is clean and invites for picnic or hanging out to relax and enjoying sounds of various birds in the trees.

I wanted my family to see the giraffe, only to find that the species no longer exists. Otherwise, we enjoyed seeing other animals such as the monkeys, buffalo, lions, zebras

Very natural, very friendly staffs. Good place to be always

This place is well kept though not as big as other animal parks, the tour guide was great and took us around while explaining and elaborating everything well i can say he really knows his way around the animals so well, a nice place to take your family

It's more a small zoo than a sanctuary. It has a nice situation at the lake. The hippos you can hear at night coming out and earn some fresh grass. It could be a nice stay, at the entrance you get shocked: for foreigners, the fee it's overprized. Half of it, and it would be okay. So, you get the feeling, got in a tourist trap.

Great Sanctuary. Would highly recommend! 👌🏾

Awesome place to visit, or even have picnic

There were additional animals from my last visit visit in 2016. The place is still scenic and lovely. The trails are still great. However, there was a platform that was now inaccessible/ dilapidated since. The impala lodge was also closed for renovation due to high tides. Pollution (resulting from visitors interference) like throwing yogurt cups and plates into the environment is also an issue. The management can start barring visitors from coming in with plastic bottles/ cups/ plates....

The park was great and worth the visit but honestly it's really racist they charge tourists 22 dollars and it does not include a tour guide. Locals pay only 200 schillings. In Europe everyone pays the same entrance otherwise the racism debate would immediately start.

Quiet.. Serene.. wonderful staff

Kisumu Impala Sanctuary is just an amazing place to visiting for an extra ordinary experience. Site of wild animals, the lake and the wonderful trail is amazing.
