Our kids absolutely wanted to visit a snake farm. I first went to check the one in Diani town but it is a tiny place which did not really look worth a visit. We then went to the Jungle Snake Farm which is located about 8km out of town: although it was January 1st, the place was open and a freelance guide was available. We were charged 1.000 KSH per adult and the kids only had to pay half price (contrary to what is written in a previous post, we didn't even had to ask). Below 3y was even free of charge.
The guide was experienced and gave lots of interesting explanations so we were happy to pay him another 1.000 KSH. There were about 20 different types of snakes, as well as a number of other animals (crocodiles, turtles, lizards, owls, monkeys, etc.)
We were a bit short in time so did the tour in less than an hour but you could spend some more time, especially if you're interested to hold a snake (which we didn't)

The entrance fee is 1,000 KSH. There are many snakes, crocodiles, turtles 🐢 and finally an eagle owl on site and up close. The staff on site are very friendly and try to describe the individual animal species in detail. Photos with the harmless animals were possible at any time and were also requested and at no extra charge.
Clearly recommended if you are on Diani Beach.

You can have a lot of fun here and hold most of the creatures. I'm not sure how I feel about the guy hitting the animals with sticks to taunt the
Though just so you can see them angry. The crocodile is kind of cramped too. He catches the animals in the wild and breeds them there, then he sells them to pet shops in Europe, although he is called to catch the dangerous snakes sometimes. He charges 1,000 shillings per person for the tour and his friends will wait outside for you and try to guilt trip you into buying friendship bracelets.

The place is very interesting - you may touch and hold almost all animals (snakes, chameleon, turtles etc.). It is recommended to go there with some locals as you may have to call the owner to open the place for you and the place is not that easy to find.

I don't think this qualifies to be called a snake park.Only a handful of snakes and one or two crocodiles.I visited for about two hours and there was no single visitor.The place is not well maintained and the owner relies on the goodwill of well wishers to maintain and run this park.KWS ought to provide a helping hand and also the owner should source for funds to refurbish and stock this park.

just outside ukunda is the snake park, a good place to spend a couple of hours. you will see crocs snakes and other reptiles. you will be given a chance to hold some of these. you will also be given a tour of the gardens around the park and see some unusual plants, and have a chance to meet some of the locals.

Total ripoff.
It's a very small place that will take you the most half hour . They have 3 kind of tours from 10$ to 20$.
They even charge same price for small children . For Kenya 10$ is quite an amount . This place is located in a bush in a village . When we came there there was a guy sleeping on a peace of wood who we had to wake up . While we were there there was not a single person there but us .
Few snakes, couple crocodiles .
Seriously it's a joke ..spend your money somewhere else . Typical tourist trap
