Mombasa Tour Haller Park Ngomongo Village Nguuni Park; Explore Mombasa wildlife attractions in a day by visiting Haller Park (formerly Bamburi Nature Trail) and Nguuni Nature Sanctuary during this excursion.

Your tour begins with a visit to Haller Park (Bamburi Nature Trail) located 12 km’s (7.5 miles) north of Mombasa along the Mombasa/ Malindi highway. Haller Park is the largest animal sanctuary in Mombasa boasting a variety of animals, reptiles, insects and botanical gardens.

Walking along the trail is the ideal way to look at the various animals, and on many occasions holding or feeding a reptile such as a snake is allowed under the close supervision of a guide.

Educational videos are also shown, with emphasis on the history and continuous improvement of the trail. It was previously a barren piece of land that had been stripped of its resources through limestone mining.

Later it was redeveloped through reforestation and conservation efforts and is now a habitat for a large number of flora and fauna species.

Next, we visit the Ngomongo Villages – African Tribal homesteads displaying the ways of life of the ten most colourful and diverse rural peoples of Kenya. You will see their huts, tools, gardens and learn more about their traditions and way of life.
