Nestled along the Mombasa-Malindi Highway, Haller Park is a remarkable wildlife sanctuary transformed from an abandoned limestone quarry into a lush green paradise. Originally an environmental restoration project by Bamburi Cement Company, Haller Park is now a thriving ecosystem home to a variety of wildlife, flora, and bird species. It provides a perfect nature escape for visitors looking to explore Kenya’s conservation efforts and enjoy a relaxing nature walk.
This sanctuary is home to hippos, giraffes, buffaloes, crocodiles, tortoises, monkeys, and antelopes, among many other species. One of the park’s famous attractions is the friendship between Owen, a rescued baby hippo, and Mzee, a 130-year-old tortoise, a heartwarming example of nature’s wonders.
