travel · 📍 Mombasa, Kenya

Haller Park — Attraction / activity in Mombasa, Kenya. A zoological garden of about 75 hectares created in 1985 on the site of a formal coral reef. Animals include giraffes, hippos, monkeys, and reptiles. The park has two famous animals: Owen and Mzee. The former is a hippopotamus that was orphanized by the tsunami of 2004 and the second a tortoise that "adopted" the young hippo to the astonishment of the scientists. The best time to visit is between 14:00 and 15:00 when the animals are fed. Guides speak English, Spanish, French and other languages. Watch out for the monkeys, they are numerous and appear friendly but do occasionally bite. Price: Ksh 1600 as of 2013. Listed on Wikivoyage (CC-BY-SA). Source: https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Mombasa
