  A good park, great views of the Cherangani Hills and the Mount Elgon.
  Good for kids and family weekend outing.
  Get to see a variety of bird species starting with the crane, weaver birds, ibis, stork and many more.
  Great nature trails, indigenous trees making a modified equatorial rainforest with thick undergrowth.
  If you're lucky enough get a site of an African waterbuck, antelope (locally known as sitatunga).
  Lodges and tree top viewing is available.

  Fantastic park, the smallest in Kenya, where you get to easily see one of the rarest antelope of the African continent (there are very few remaining in the wild).
  Highly recommended visit!

  Saiwa swamp, home of the debrazza monkey and the rate sitatunga, marsh antelope A very serene place and awesome to go discover yourself. Great guides, it's teeming with birdlife, a lot of trees and shrubs and a trail that'll make you not want to leave.

  There's one species of antelope called 'Sitatunga' that is only found at Saiwa Swamp National Park

  This is a place endowed with natural flora and fauna in their original habitat. The rare Sitatunga antelope is found here. Additionally, there is a collection of genetically "challenged" domestic animals such as a lame sheep, one with three legs and so on.
  The park offers boating sport and camping facilities. Accomodation is also available.

  People living too close to the park, the louder sounds were of cows, roosters and children playing. Nice nature, sure, but not even remotely worth the 25$ pp entry fee. I think KWS is looking for suckers.
