Mamba Village Mombasa
About Mamba Village Mombasa
If you're looking for a thrilling wildlife experience in Mombasa, Mamba Village Centre in Nyali is an absolute must-visit. Known as East Africa's largest crocodile farm, it's home to over 10,000 crocodiles, including "Big Daddy," the legendary, oldest resident croc. It makes for a great outing for families, reptile enthusiasts, and anyone up for a slightly unusual culinary adventure. The undisputed highlight is the daily feeding time at 5:00 PM, when handlers raise fresh meat up high and the crocodiles launch themselves right out of the water to grab it, well worth timing your visit around. While you're there, don't skip a visit to "Big Daddy," the farm's oldest and largest crocodile and a longtime crowd favorite. Beyond the crocodiles, there's also a reptile and snake park where you can take a guided tour to see and safely get close to various snake species and giant tortoises, asking for an experienced guide like Omondi or Cynthia makes the tour that much more interactive and informative. For the more adventurous eaters, the on-site Mamba Village Restaurant specializes in exotic game meat, with gourmet crocodile dishes like Mamba Skewers and Fillet Steak on the menu, alongside more familiar options like beef, chicken, or fish.
