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 of 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 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 ten most colorful and diverse rural peoples of Kenya. You will see their huts, tools, gardens and learn more about their traditions and way of life.

After lunch we proceed to Nguuni Nature Sanctuary located only 4 km from the cement factory, not far from Haller Park. It is a park where you can relax and enjoy animals. You have the opportunity to make a little safari through the park by car or to go on a bird walk.

Get a lifetime chance to get up-close with giraffes, elands, oryx, waterbucks, ostriches and many species of birds. The park has several picnic areas and there is a possibility to enjoy a barbecue at sundown.

Elephants Experience: Elephants are the main attraction at Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary and there are as many as 150 residing there.

Trees and Plants Experience: Dinosaur Cycads are fan-like plants seen in the park. All 6 of Kenya's Cycad species (Eucephalartos hildebrantii) are found in Mwaluganje.

Baobab Trees: Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary baobab trees is one of Africa's most unusual deciduous trees.

The Scenic Landscape: Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary valleys overlooking the Taita Hills are a sight to behold with quite flowing waters and serene surroundings it almost like in paradise.

Other natural attractions are "God's Bridge," "Time Rock" and the traditional shrine that characterizes the sacredness of the community.

These beautiful hills roll up to Tsavo National Parks to the East and the Indian Ocean to the west, and are marked by striking features like the: Golini cliffs, Kitanze Falls, Manolo River, which consists of the Riverine vegetation and Meandering Rivers.

Educational Experience: Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary was launched in the early '90's largely to reduce local human/elephant conflicts, which were on the rise due to both more elephants and more people.

Elephants would destroy crops and people would retaliate. More than 200 families have voluntarily contributed land to the reserve, agreeing not to farm this important elephant habitat.

Today, they live nearby and manage the sanctuary, earning more from tourism than from farming, a critical factor in ensuring the survival of these elephants.

The sanctuary has also enabled the community to build school classrooms and enjoy a steady water supply and better roads.

0700 Hours: Our tour departs Mombasa by road to Malindi located about 120 Kilometers. Gedi Ruins lie 16 km south of Malindi town and approximately 90 Kilometers North East of Mombasa.

0900 Hours: Arrive at Gedi Ruins Museum, a historic site for a 2 hour tour by an experienced local guide. The Ruins of Gedi are the remains of a Swahili town located in Gedi, a village near the coastal town of Malindi.

From the 13th or 14th to 17th centuries, Gedi was a thriving community along the jungle coast of East Africa. Gede Ruins is a 12th Century Swahili village that was mysteriously abandoned some 600 years ago due to unknown causes.

It is now a National Museum, and the ruins are heavily overgrown with beautiful indigenous forest trees, baobabs and tamarind. The guide takes you through the history of the ruins to this present day.

Look out for Syke's Monkeys, and the Golden Rumped Elephant Shrew can also be seen here. A quiet, careful look in some of the old wells can turn out the odd owl, too.

1100 Hours: After, you proceed to Malindi town to see the Vasco da Gama pillar and later you tour Malindi Town. Just like Mombasa, Malindi holds a lot of history. Its scenic beauty and clean white beaches makes it one of the most visited towns. The Swahili people are the predominant culture found in Malindi.

Malindi was made famous after Vasco da Gama's stopover in 1498. In Malindi, you will see narrow alleys in the old part of town where the old houses have been lived in for centuries.

One of the oldest East African churches still stands strong; the Church of St. Francis Xavier still stands strong across from Vasco da Gama's pillar, where he carved the Christian cross. Also extant is the Juma'a mosque, which was misused as a haven for slave trading until mid 1870's.
