Background Information
When the East African Railway
reached Kisumu early in the Last
century, the area must have been
teeming with plains game. The
passage of time saw hunting for
the pot, ecosystem loss through
human settlement and agriculture
reduce numbers vastly. By the
early 80s, what could be seen
was a pitifully small herd of
Impala that roamed the town and
neighbouring areas.
The Sanctuary, a 0.4 square km
of marsh, grassland and forest
was created to provide a home
for this herd of Impala. It then
developed into a holding point
for captured problem animals.
Today, it provides grazing for
Hippos and habitat for numerous
small mammals, and a variety of
reptiles and birds. It also
hosts two leopards, one spotted
hyena, two olive baboons and
several vervet monkeys held in
captivity. Sightings of the
reclusive and acutely threatened
Sitatunga have also been made.
