Snake Park — Attraction in Nairobi

Snake Park is a great place to learn about snakes and see them up close. The park is located in Nairobi, Kenya, and it is home to a variety of snakes, including cobras, pythons, and mambas.

Visitors can take a guided tour of the park, where they will learn about the different types of snakes, their habitats, and their behavior. They can also see the snakes up close and even hold some of them.

The park also has a number of educational exhibits, including a snake venom display and a snake skeleton exhibit. There is also a gift shop on site where you can buy souvenirs and educational materials about snakes.

I visited Snake Park on a recent trip to Nairobi, and I was really impressed. The park is well-maintained, and the snakes are well-cared for. The guided tours are informative and engaging, and the educational exhibits are well-done.

Abuse of animals for the selfish pleasure of humans. The scariest thing was that children were allowed into the tortoiseshell/rabbit enclosure by the staff. There they chased the rabbits and lifted the wriggling animals by their ears!

Completely insensitive and inconsiderate treatment of living creatures without respect. And that 7 days a week. Nobody wants to be treated like that themselves, but other living creatures are expected to be. I asked the staff to protect the animals - they complied willingly.

I don't understand it: on the one hand, people fervently pray to God and his mercy, on the other hand, animals are abused, put on display and treated disrespectfully. Are these not also creations of God according to this logic?

This place should be banned.

But karma will sort it out - anyone who treats living beings so ruthlessly will always experience it again in their own...

Learned a lot about snakes. Dangerous ones are kept inside the frame, non dangerous are outside but circulated in a place where its surrounded with a small wall where you can see them moving around.

This place has many to offer than seeing snakes. Many aquariums with different types of fishes, other reptiles like Crocodiles & Tortoises.

This place is wheelchair accessibility. Our tour guide was very friendly and...
