Want to get a thrill and be face to face with some killers? Don't bother with River Road, see the most poisonous and sometimes beautiful snakes in Kenya at the Snake Park. If it gets a bit too much, break out and enjoy the succulent garden. The snakes are cool but prepare yourself for an attack of the hebegebes. Woaah.... More

When you walk in you see a tree that is not enclosed, but there is a wall. Well snakes are on the tree and in the yard of that area. The park is small, but it had more snakes than I would like to see. There are other animals like turtles, crocodiles, fish, etc. Great place to see if you... More

Camped here with a tour group as we made our way through Kenya. Its basic, but it is just a campsite so has all you would need. The bar is a plus, always had a great atmosphere and owners are very friendly. The food was brilliant. They had put a huge spread on for us on arrival and I couldnt... More

Nam different types of snakes are readily available making it attractive to view their social life.. one would not belief how they are handled since snakes are termed as toxic creatures!!! mzee kobe (Tortoise)still is there gazing at you n making no move.
