Haller Park

About this activity

Why Visit Haller Park?

A green jewel on Mombasa’s north coast, Haller Park is a remarkable story of regeneration. Born from the ruins of a cement quarry, it has transformed into a vibrant ecosystem teeming with life — giraffes, hippos, reptiles, butterflies, and more.

Whether you come for the wildlife, the walking trails, the education, or simply peace under the trees — Haller Park welcomes you into nature restored.

Wildlife Close-Up

Get eye-level with towering giraffes, see crocodiles bask in the sun, and meet hippos Sally and Potty — icons of the park.

Botanical & Butterfly Sanctuary

Wander through lush gardens filled with native flora, and step into a pavilion where butterflies dance freely.

Conservation in Action

Haller Park is more than a place to visit — it’s a living classroom for restoration, biodiversity, and climate action.

Escape in Nature

Slow down and reconnect with nature on forest walks, cycling trails, or meditative spots under the coastal canopy.

Celebrate Outdoors

Host birthdays, weddings, or team-building days in one-of-a-kind venues surrounded by wildlife and whispering trees.

Nature & Photography

Capture unforgettable moments — from rare birds mid-flight to serene forest trails and wildlife encounters worth framing.

From Quarry to Paradise

Once a barren cement quarry, Haller Park is now a global success story in environmental rehabilitation. Spearheaded by Dr. René Haller in the 1970s, this project restored native biodiversity, created sustainable systems like aquaculture, and continues to inspire restoration efforts worldwide.
