Once a barren wasteland left by a Bamburi quarry, Bamburi Haller Park has been transformed into a world-renowned ecological and ecotourism haven. Situated south of the Cement plant along the Mombasa/Malindi highway, this vibrant tropical ecosystem is the result of Bamburi Cement Company's rehabilitation efforts since 1971. The park now boasts lush forests, grasslands, and ponds, providing a sanctuary for a variety of wildlife including giraffes, monkeys, snakes, warthogs, and crocodiles. Visitors can explore nature trails, a butterfly pavilion, and other attractions, making it an ideal destination for conservation education and nature enthusiasts.

Walking trails cemented for easy movement even on rainy days, well labelled pathways, wild animals properly secured in fenced sections, generally a very nice conducive atmosphere. Really loved it

Good nature park, not a zoo! Has toilet facilities at the entrance next to the gate. Soft drinks and light snacks are available for purchase next to the ticket counter. Can cover the whole park along with Giraffe feeding within 1.45 hrs easy.
