Nairobi Mamba Village Crocodile Farm Tour

Nairobi Mamba Village Crocodile Farm Tour is a popular excursion to a tourist destination located on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya’s capital city. It is one of the few places where visitors can get up close and personal with crocodiles and learn about their behavior and habitat.

Mamba Village Nairobi is the largest crocodile farm in East Africa and, thus, a must-see tourist attraction in Kenya. The Farm spans over 30 acres and is home to approximately 70 Nile Crocodiles. In addition, some ostriches can be seen walking around the village, and you can sometimes feed them if the guides working at the Farm allow you to.

The Farm is located in the Karen suburbs, about 13 kilometers from the city center, and close to other popular Nairobi attractions such as Nairobi National Park, Giraffe Centre, Bomas of Kenya, David Sheldrick’s Wildlife Trust, and the Galleria Shopping Mall.

One of Nairobi Mamba Village’s main attractions is the daily crocodile feeding show, which is a thrilling experience. During the show, visitors can watch as the crocodiles are fed chunks of meat, which they devour with impressive speed and strength. During the feeding show, visitors can also learn more about the crocodiles’ feeding habits and digestive systems.

Mamba Village Nairobi has other attractions worth seeing besides the crocodile farm. It has a large botanical garden with various indigenous and exotic plant species and several fish ponds stocked with multiple fish species, including tilapia and catfish.

Visitors can go fishing in the ponds or buy fresh fish from the on-site fish market. Mamba Village Nairobi is also popular for weddings, corporate retreats, photoshoots, team-building activities, and parties.

Mamba Village Nairobi is also a great place to ride horses and camels and relax by the lake. The crocodile-free lake is perfect for water enthusiasts who can ride or rent paddle boats—a bouncing castle is on-site to keep the kids entertained. The resort has a lounge, several restaurants, and private ‘bandas’ (sitting areas) for small teams in the same space, which can hold at least 500 guests.

With the supervision of a guide, a visitor can be allowed to feed them.

Visitors need not worry, though, as the crocodiles are enclosed within a fenced pool and can be observed safely. Every Sunday at 4.30 pm is meal time for the crocodiles, and visitors can watch as the crocodiles tear through roasted meat. Crocodiles are grouped into families and have names.
