Loved it here. Missed the giraffe feeding but was able to catch the hippo and crocodile feeding. Crocodile feeding was my favorite part. That was quite the show.
I also some animals for the first time in my life e.g. the hippos and the buffalo as well as an antelope.

I love the freedom the animals enjoy in this park. Feeding the giraffes was the highlight! Thank you for taking care of these wild animals in nature!

I visited the park and a good story about how it was created after the court decision made against the Bamburi cement factory. Bamburi was instructed to pay back to the environment through the polluter pays principle. the park is worth a visit and an a nature conservationist, i was rely happy.

This is a nice place to wander around for an hour or so. Watching and stroking giant turtles, saying hi to the hippo, snakes, giraffes close up is exciting for the visitor.

They do not let you feed the giraffes anymore. Apparently its due to Covid protocols. However, the area where you stand to watch the rangers feed the giraffes is jam packed anyway.
We were rather disappointed at this aspect, especially my overseas guest who had been looking forward to this for the best part of a week!
The hippo feeding is average. The 2 hippos look very very well fed! Was nice to see that the hippos have a huge area to graze in and a big pond too.
The crocodile feeding was the best out of the 3. But they only feed them 3 pieces of chicken legs. My guest actually ate more than that more dinner.
Overall its a nice attraction. Various improvements can be made. For example you cannot see into any of the snake enclosures to due to the glare on the glass from the sun. A better design would have been ideal here.
The giant tortoises and waterbucks were pleasant to see. My guest even enjoyed hugging the giant tortoises even though they are probably riddled with ticks!

Great place to visit, the main part is like a zoo in a rain forest - you can see giraffes, hippos, turtles, crocodiles, snakes plus there is a butterfly pavilion. Some of the animals can be meet when walking through the park, fortunately not the crocodiles. They do feeding shows for the visitors, but mostly in the afternoon, so we didn’t have a chance to see one.
Entrance fee can be paid only in KES or with M-Pesa. Take water and snacks with you, there wasn’t place to buy any when we visited.
There is one entrance Google doesn’t show - not far from Nyali Mall.

Sorry we just walked:) It was worth of half day walking around.
Your website says entry fee for residents is 200 for adults and 100 kids. Was so disappointed and shocked when we visited the place on saturday only to be told that its 500 per adult and my son who is 14 years was also to pay 500. Kindly review your costings as this is misleading.

Just do is my mgeni did : walk away. Only that way they'll learn I suppose.... The restauarant isn't there anymore AND you have to BU plastic bags with food for the giraffes ?! WHere there used to be a bucket full which you could use, becaiuse you paid entrance fee already....
It's deteriorated dramattically over the years........................

Non il n'y a pas d éléphant dans le parc. ..On ne mourrit pas un éléphant comme une girafe. .c est un animal qui peut être dangereux. .
Vous en verrez si vous faites un safari. ..sans pour autant les nourrir. ..
Nous ne sommes pas au cirque. .
