Impala Sanctuary


On the road to Dunga, this 1-sq-km sanctuary is home to a small impala herd and provides important grazing grounds for local hippos. In addition to the impala, there are cages of other Kenyan antelope and monkeys, but frankly it's an awful lot of money to pay for what is essentially a small zoo. It's difficult to see the purpose of the sanctuary – there are no endangered or protected species here.
