Haller Park - Mombasa

In this park you will see animals like buffalo, Hippos, Wild beasts, giraffe, crocodiles, snake park, small monkeys, a very large tortoise(100 yrs plus).

The park is on the main Mombasa - Malindi road. Even the other beach hotels around Bamburi beach are within the proximity of Haller park. It is a place worth visiting.

What amazed me is the way the animals have been conditioned for feeding, giving the visitors a spectacular view and great enjoyment. Giraffes are fed at 3.00pm and we even assisted in feeding, putting food in their mouths by our hands. Buffalo and hippos are fed at 4.00pm. When they saw the their feeder coming they moved from the bush and water and came closer to the feeding point where we had gathered and the visitors got an opportunity to see them at a close range and took photos.

The feeder wears a particular kind of clothing during the feeding that is how they are able to recognize him. Crocodiles are fed at 5.00pm. If you want to see all these, be at the park in the after noon.
