    Check when the animals feeding is scheduled
    I wasn´t really sure if I want to visit the Haller park. I was expecting kind of ZOO of which I have already seen plenty but my friend kept on telling me how they used visit it when he was a child growing in Mombasa so we decided to go. And I am glad we did. The park itself is nice, the animals are interesting and the giraffes, hippos and crocodiles feeding is an experience one never forget. I wouldn´t travel far for it but once in Mombasa it is definitely worth a visit.

    Haller Park-Disappointed
    As other people have mentioned, great project but the initial enthusiasm seems to have fizzled out. Three hippos, few ageing crocodiles, Butterflies, cute giant Tortoises and the six ( that we saw ) Giraffes in the part of the park we were allowed to see. Lots of Monkeys around the park.There is so much potential for it to be a great attraction, unless you have young children, give it a miss. The staff were friendly but lacking in giving thorough advice ( Apart from one who spent some time with us informing us about the Crocodiles and some history of the park. There are now refreshment facilities and there is NO WIFI so may struggle to order a cab. We used a Tuk-Tuk to get back who charged the same as a cab.

    Fantastic Experience at Haller Park, Mombasa
    Our visit to Haller Park in Bamburi, Mombasa was an unforgettable experience! The park is a perfect blend of nature and conservation, offering a peaceful escape filled with incredible sights. We enjoyed the guided tour, which was both informative and engaging, as we learned about the park's transformation from a quarry to a thriving ecological sanctuary. The highlights of our visit included seeing the majestic giraffes up close, the fascinating crocodiles, and the serene fishponds. The lush greenery and well-maintained trails made it a pleasure to explore, and the wildlife interactions were truly special. Haller Park is a must-visit for anyone in Mombasa looking for a mix of education, adventure, and relaxation. It’s an experience we’ll cherish for a long time!

We visited with Shikeli from Holaa Safari as part of a full day tour of Mombasa City in the morning & Haller Park in the afternoon.
The surprises that await you inside are amazing & such a beautiful setting. There are opportunities to see the giraffes , hippos , eland , buffalo , crocodiles being fed , in the afternoon from 3pm. With some covid rules in place guests were not allowed to feed the giraffes personally as happened in the past. They still come very close to eat & are quite comfortable with people. There are various paths to follow to see the yellow/albino crocodiles , a few tortoises over 100yrs old & huge , a butterfly sanctuary , a pen with a few rehabilitated animals , a number of fish tanks used for breeding & selling & a reptile park with many of the really venomous snakes. Different guides took us around . The highlight is clearly the feeding times from Potty & Sally the hippos to the vicious crocodiles who by the way do get fed at other times & what you see is really for show . Haller Park has many trails & is in a really beautiful setting

We went at 2pm and saw all the feeding times (3pm giraffes, 4pm hippos and buffaloes, 4.30pm crocodiles). We enjoyed the visit especially the giant turtles walking around. There were just huge animals walking around, unlike a zoo, which made the visit enjoyable. Really recommend it for a hot afternoon!

If you’re ever in Mombasa, make sure you check this place out. I had the opportunity to get a tour with Max. I actually found his info right here on Trip Advisor. I was able to book him the same day of the tour. He’s professional and prompt. He provided transport to and from Haller Park. Showed me everything I wanted to see and was able to take great pics for me while I was feeding the Giraffes! Here’s Max’s number for anyone that needs a tour guide: +254 726-382-358 He’s available on WhatsApp!

What an awful experience. The park is lovely on the whole but the giraffe feeding experience is seriously awful. They oversell they food so the place is crowded with people. Then they basically whip the giraffes to come over and be fed - over and over. My son (7) couldn’t get near the front due to the crowds of selfish people feeding repeatedly and not letting others in (due to overselling giraffe food) but when we saw how the giraffes were treated we were relieved that we hadn’t managed to feed them.

There are no signs anywhere - it was impossible to know where the different areas are. It quickly become clear that you are expected to hire a guide and that is the reason for the lack of information.

The price for foreigners is also too high.

My advice - skip this place. It’s much better to see animals in the wild in Kenya rather than seeing them badly treated in this place.

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.

It's and old stone mine where some animals found shelter and rather dense forest took over again. It offers close views of enclosed animals. For Nyali Beach dwellers, it is the closest and cheapest opportunity to get a faint safari feeling. I'm not a friend of zoo feeding of wild animals (and of teasing crocs into catching chicken meat in mid-air) but again it's a total riskfree family attraction (if you watch your steps) we are talking about.

I arrived at 9.30 and they said: follow the arrows and stay on the path, first out is the crocodiles".
Thats all..I and other families follow the arrows and all we saw was small crocs in a pond,2 geese a sort of antilop far away . And a Interm at the butterfly pavilion showed me a few butterflies.He did a good job explaining and showing.. so the tour was ended and I went back to the reception and ask were the animals were?
They're hiding, they answered..
Nobody told US , several families, were to find giraffe or when feeding time was, if feeding was all animals or just giraffe??
In sweden the animal park is for free and you see a lot of animal..
Dont buy this ticket !!!1400 ksh / person and no animals.. go to animal orphanage in Nairobi instead.. this is owned by Bamburi Cement, animal orphanage you support the animals and the work to save them.. its from the government..

We had a great time here and just across the road from White Sands where we were staying. Very wheelchair accessible and we have a lovely guide who took us round and showed us a great variety rescued animals. Took about 90 minutes to walk round and we were impressed with our old quarry had been so brilliantly utilised. Highly recommended

My family visits kenya twice a year. Every time we come to mombasa we visit Haller park for multiple visits. It’s close to town. You can almost touch the hippos during their feeding time. The giraffe feeding area is better than giraffe center in Karen Nairobi. There are also giant tortoises that the kids can get close to. So many animals including crocs and snakes too. One is the best animal parks in kenya and very good for small kids.

My family and I had a very good afternoon at this wildlife sanctuary situated just off the Mombasa- Malindi road, after the Nyali Bridge. What an experience we had. My children were able to feed the giraffes, and they had an experience of their lives. Here you get to see the following animals; Giraffes, Totoise, Hippos, Bufalo, Eland, Oryx, Crocodiles, snakes, Monkeys, Butterfly, waterbucks amongst others.
The best time to visit Haller Park is in the afternoon so that you can witness the feeding times as follows:
1) Giraffe at 15:00hrs, 2) Hippos at 16:00hrs and 3) Crocodiles at 16:30hrs.
The entrance fees are Kshs 500 for adults and Kshs 200 for children and foreigners pay USD$10
