Haller Park at a glance
Haller Park lies along the Mombasa to Malindi road. The operator, Bamburi, describes it as a rehabilitated quarry site with giraffes, tortoises, reptiles and forest trails. It is a privately run park and not a Kenya Wildlife Service national park, so national park fees do not apply here.
This is an independent guide. It is not run by the operator or by any tour company, and we do not sell tickets. The prices below are the operator's published figures for 2026. Check the board at the entrance on the day.
Haller Park entry fees
The operator's list for 2026, including VAT. Category names are the operator's own.
| Category | Adult | Child |
|---|---|---|
| Kenya Citizens | KES 900 | KES 500 |
| East African Resident | KES 1,000 | KES 700 |
| Non-East African Resident | KES 2,400 | KES 1,200 |
Adults should bring an ID or a passport to show at the gate. The operator also lists separate rates for its forest trails, so ask what your ticket covers. Ask the staff how the child rate applies to your child's age.
You will see other numbers online. One travel portal lists USD 20 for foreign adults, for example. They do not match the operator's list, so use the table above as your reference and confirm the final price at the gate.

What you can see
The park is known for its giraffes and its land tortoises. It also has reptiles and shaded forest paths, and oryx and eland graze in some of the open areas. Ponds and trees along the paths reflect in the water. Animals move around, and no sighting is guaranteed.
Keep your distance from the animals, do not feed them unless staff tell you to, and follow the signs and the instructions of the rangers. Children should stay with an adult near the water and the enclosures.
Feeding times and opening hours
Published sources disagree, so ask on arrival.
Opening hours
One travel portal lists 08:00 to 17:00 daily. Plan for a daytime visit and confirm the closing time at the gate.
Giraffe feeding
Sources give 11:00 and 15:00 in one case and 11:00 and 16:00 in another. Ask at the entrance when giraffes are fed today.
Hippos and crocodiles
Hippos are listed at 16:00 by both sources. For crocodiles, one source says 16:30 and the other says 15:00 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday only. Treat these as hints and not as a schedule.
Parking and booking
Ask the park about parking and about any booking rules before you go, and arrive early on busy days.
Planning your visit
The park lies on the Mombasa to Malindi road, so you reach it from the city by taxi, by a tour or with your own car. Ask your hotel to arrange the ride and agree the fare in advance. The paths are shaded, and the weather still matters. In the official climate series for Mombasa, May is the rainiest month and February the driest, but that series is old and only a rough guide. The weather page has the monthly figures.
Wear closed shoes for forest paths, bring water, and keep your phone and camera secure. Because the park is a private operation, rules at the gate can differ from those in national parks, so follow the staff instructions.
Fit Haller Park into your day
Plan about half a day for the park, then add a beach stop or a visit to the fort. The Mombasa page lists the other things to do in town, including the beaches of Nyali and Bamburi. Fort Jesus works well on the same day, as a morning at the fort and an afternoon at the park, or the other way around.
If you travel on from Mombasa, the getting there page explains the routes by air, rail and road. And if your trip continues north, the Lamu archipelago has its own guide.
