Overview

About this tour

The Nairobi Snake Park shares a site with the National Museum and holds a living collection of East African reptiles covering nearly everything venomous in the country: black mamba, green mamba, puff adder, Gaboon viper, spitting cobra and rock python among them, alongside crocodiles, tortoises and a spread of lizards.

There is more to it than the thrill. Snakebite remains a serious rural health problem in Kenya, and the park puts real effort into public awareness: which species are dangerous, which are harmless, how to tell one from the other, and what to actually do if someone is bitten. An hour covers it comfortably, and the museum is a few steps away. Entrance fees, hotel transfers, drinking water and a guide are included.

Day by day

Detailed itinerary

Your driver-guide collects you from your hotel and drives you to the Snake Park, within the grounds of the National Museum on Museum Hill.

A guided circuit of the collection: black and green mamba, puff adder, Gaboon viper, spitting and forest cobra, rock python and a number of harmless species, alongside crocodiles, tortoises and lizards. Your guide covers identification, how snakes actually behave, and the correct first response to a bite.

You are driven back to your hotel or on to your next stop. The National Museum next door makes an easy addition if you want a fuller half day.
