About

Nairobi Snake Park houses over 200 reptile species, including rare African pythons and mambas. Expect close-up encounters with live snakes, tortoises, and crocodiles in open-air enclosures. Perfect for curious kids and wildlife lovers wanting real African fauna.

Nairobi Snake Park sits along Prof. Wangari Maathai Road, next to the Nairobi Museum. It holds one of East Africa's most diverse reptile collections. Over 200 species live here, from puff adders to massive Nile crocodiles. Handlers regularly bring snakes out for guided demonstrations. You can photograph tortoises up close and watch crocodiles bask in their pools. The enclosures are well-maintained and clearly labelled with species information. Knowledgeable staff answer questions without rushing you through. Entry fees are affordable, making this accessible for families and school groups. Visit on a weekday morning for smaller crowds and more staff attention. Combine it with the National Museum next door for a full half-day out.
