If you are interested in seeing crocodiles, tortoise and ostriches within Nairobi,this is the place! Feeding of crocodiles happens at 4:30pm. The place has a good atmosphere for a picnic (you can bring your own food and sit next to the small waterbody on site). Going by the art pieces on the walls & walkways,deserted amenities like the restaurant & club, play equipment, mamba village is no longer what it used to be. Perhaps a reminder that seasons come and go! When down,the only way to go is up :) Mamba village's light will shine... someday!

I wouldn't recommend it completely. It is very sad the place has run down and is in ruins. Looks abandoned and like a ghost town. Staff are trying the very best to make sure guests are comfortable but the environment makes it difficult to enjoy or even relax. This is a complete disaster. Art Gallery shops closed and dust settled indicates it has been closed for so long. During my visit some I observed school kids playing in bouncing castle, enjoying horse rides and being offered boat rides. Perhaps they were the only happy people at the facility. The cashier didn't have change but when I asked to pay using Card he found change somehow. Alot needs to be done to change the place. It still has potential but alot of things need to be done. For now it's a big NO for me and a huge disappointment.

We pass by this place once a week just to take our minds off things. My children love coming here bits amazing for adults too. The ambience here is just so relaxing you want to keep revisiting it. It's a great way to spend the weekend a must place to visit it. Plus the staff our so friendly.

It was good being able to tick my bucket list activities this day. The place is not far from the road: one can walk from the bus stop terminus: the arrows are very helpful. Prices are: kshs 200 adults kshs 150 children under 12 I.e Kenyans. It was nice seeing the crocodiles being fed at the scheduled feeding times: we witnessed the 4.30pm feeding time. Kids friendly and kids are able to see a replica of what they see on likes of natgeo. The place looked deserted at some places: hopefully they are able to revive and use all the space that's available and have more for us to see. Washrooms were not easily accessible: ones found near the boat riding place were locked. Boat riding was very nice: calm and refreshing

Took my students for a school trip here.They learnt a lot and enjoyed every bit of it

The road leading there and the park also need renovation, the animals and the visitors would also deserve it. The staff is nice and informative, the location is excellent, but the view is a bit depressing.

Mamba village was probably one of the best picnic spots back in the day, but has really gone down since I last visited. There are still a few positives; bandas are available. You can barbecue to your heart's content, but bring your own grill. Boating, fishing, horse riding are still options. All in all, the place needs an upgrade. But you can still have a fun time with family.

Very nice and peaceful place! The stuff are very friendly, they have many crocodiles! And you can see them very close! The place is a bit oldish and need maintenance and the restaurant was closed, otherwise is a nice place and very cheep! Perfect for a weekend escape and relaxation.

The place looks abandoned. Atleast when i visited it which is shortly after writing this review. There is a lot of crocodiles. Some are huge too. You can also see ostriches and if you're lucky get to hold their eggs. There are activities which include horse riding which go for KSH 200, boat riding, and archery 🎯. While I was there, the prices ranged from KSH 200 for resident adults and KSH 1000 for non-residents. You can also do fishing. However, the atmosphere is a bit boring, the place is a wreck, most of the buildings are abandoned, some structures are damaged and dirty.

Mamba is the Swahili word for crocodile, but guess what? That's not all there is at the Nairobi's mamba village. Superb atmosphere that includes a relatively small man-made "lake" that attracts quite a number of bird species. Not sure whether or not one's allowed to fish here. You're allowed to ride a boat or "cycle" on the lake. The ostrich and tortoise are also present for your pleasure. Really good but pricy food. May take a while to prepare. Excellent sitting space. Saw some grounds that could be ideal for outdoor activities. Very green and lush grass... Wonder if they hire out this space for events??!

The people here go out of their way to make your visit incredible. Personalized tours of the parks, direct contact with the crocodiles, ostriches and tortoises. Great place for children and families - and to learn something new.

Because of covid the place was quite empty, but the staff were so nice and very helpful. We were able to hold one of the tortoises and feed the ostriches, we also went on a boat ride which was lovely

Mamba Village used to be a very good place some years back, unfortunately as of July 2021, the place isn't as it was before not sure if it's because of covid or what. It just looks like an abandoned place, the restaurant is now closed, no electricity in the area, no running water. It's just a picnic site now available. On the positives, there is a lake to enjoy, archery on site, boat riding, horse riding, fishing, crocodiles, tortoise and ostrich viewing. The place is not busy neither is it crowded. The atmosphere is lovely with the surroundings of nature. It's a place I would recommend for family and friends and even for couples who want to enjoy time together.

Great place for a family get together. I pray for an investor to come revive this place because its dying slowly.

You in for a serene quiet water environment to cool down yoo nerves, this is the place. However, they should revive the art gallery kindly, it will attract more people

One of the best thing you can do in Nairobi is to visit this place. You can see many crocodiles,ostrich, tortoise. Really very good experience.

View is great, drinks fine but am not so keen on the food... So so... It was ok, but could be better. Go for it, you have all it needs. I didn't go see the crocodiles for 10 dollars... I rather see them in a natural environment.

Archery and boat riding are the only activities that I enjoyed. The place needs an uplift. Loved the sunset view though.

It's a nice place for a brief visit. The guides are knowledgeable and provide insight about the animals in the 'park' - crocodiles, ostriches, and tortoises. However, the restaurant section has since closed and the place is slowly falling into disarray. I hope the place is restored to it's former glory. The place is located away from the heart of the city, has ample parking, and water activities provided fun for the whole family.

Kids enjoy the place because they get to see crocodiles, ostrich there is horse riding and boat riding

The view is good but the compound needs a lot of improvement.

I loved the place. However it needs some renovation

The staff were very helpful and crocodiles and ostriches exciting to see but the facilities are very run down no maintenance going on.

Nice place, so many crocodiles, tortoises and ostriches also present. Fishing is allowed, boat rides are available. There's however no restaurant, washrooms are extremely dirty. The place looks underutilised and not well kept overall. Can do so much better.

The restaurant closed down, the washrooms are not maintained, the play area was inaccessible. The only thing to do was to see the crocodiles and go home. So disappointed with the once vibrant place!

I feel like the place should be revamped, renovated and improved just like giraffe centre. Mamba village has really deteriorated over the years

Lovely short visit and excellent guide. It's a shame the restaurant is no longer open. I was looking forward to lunch with my family who loved dining there.

I really loved the experience. Great guide, who tells you a lot about the crocodiles! The place is very green and picturesque. I would recommend to go!

If you have not seen crocodiles up close then this is the place to go. Located within Karen Nairobi, the center holds a large number of these reptiles and you'll be able to see them in close range but safely. The center also has some tortoises. There's a huge pool of water where you can take a boat ride or try fishing with friends. They also keep some ostriches on the other side of the center. I highly recommende for a weekend getaway within the city. You can have picnic on site.

It's a nice place to visit with friends and family during th holiday season. You'll enjoy boat rides, see the incredible Nile crocodiles and also see the ostrich.

Crocodile 🐊 Tortoise 🐢 Ostriches are cool to see Lake side view is awesome… Yes Sunday 16.30hrs is feeding time for the crocs and not to be missed. Though when we went due to the cold climate no croc was interested to eat and were in hibernation phase mostly… The ambience though is not that good and looks restaurant and shop is closed forever and made ghost like appearance… need to improve as compared to the pictures seen before and now make a huge downfall…

Nice place with a variety of things to do and see. Enjoyed the boat ride alot 😘archery, crocodiles, tortoises, and ostriches. Adult trampoline also available which I found to be amazing, and also kids park.

Due to the pandemic the palace has dropped beauty wise but it's still lovable

Awesome

Just cool

Cool family place best for outings

A good recreational center. Slightly under utilized at the moment due Covid-19, but now things are beginning to pick up. You get to see crocodiles, kids and adults crocs, ostriches, do a boat ride, and enjoy nature. There's even an archery 🎯 club here. I loved it 😍

"Good and affordable for all people visiting with family enjoying full day picnics sport... watching mamba feeding mamba cool place for kids"

This place is very underwhelming..It's in dire need of maintenance and upgrades. Save your money and go elsewhere

Interesting. But needs some maintenance.

Very good ☺️

Interesting

The place has plenty crocs. But they don't have any that you can hold in your hands. The feeding happens on mondays so plan a visit accordingly. There's a small enclosure for two types of tortoise. There's a lake where you can go boating and another enclosure for ostrich (only female). You can feed the ostrich leaves which the guide provides.

Quite a great and chill setting. As of now there is no restaurant operating within the premises. Its a great joint to bring your friends just to chill, drink and have fun. No restrictions. Also quite a nice please to have a picnic with your team. I give it 4 stars.

The place is run down. It has a feeling of a place just about to shut down.

Special prices for foreigners - that's racist!

This place can go both ways, but we were very lucky with local guide Peter! He told us a lot about croc life and even guided us into safely and respectfully holding and feeding tortoises, ostriches and a baby crocodile! Well kept and nice to stroll around the lake.

Nice place. The guides are excellent

The place is great. With a the help of a guide, you can carry the small crocodiles and even take pictures. It's a small area but it's awesome if you have limited time.

Crocodile, tortoise and ostriches are all they have to exhibit. Very friendly and well informed guide called Immaculate, friendly staff from the gate to the attendants inside. It's recommended to visit on sunday afternoon to catch the croc feeding frenzy. Boat rides available, swings and mini trains for kids.

Great place to see crocodiles, tortoises and ostriches. But seems getting ruined. Restaurants and recreation areas are closed and empty nowadays.

Good experience nice place to go

Good place to get up close to the crocodiles, tortoises and ostriches👍, boating is also on offer in the African continent shaped lake.

Loved the close up view of crocodiles and tortoise.. the staff were friendly. We can take pictures with a 5 year old croc. The varieties of crocodiles range from as young as less than 5 year old to as old as more than 50 years. Also tortoises have a wide range from youngest to the oldest.

Lovely place.. Although the restaurant is closed.. The wildlife there is amazing.. Totally worth taking a detour

Croocccss

A good place to take family, friends for lunch/dinner, enjoy a variety of delicacy and drinks.

Great place for recreation, dining, team building. They have a small man-made lake.

This place is now a shadow of it's old self. No kitchen too

It's okay

This is very interesting for all ages especially on holidays where many tourists are around...there you get to see more as the kids enjoy their activities. For those visiting when holidays are over...there won't be much to see. Their prices are good ,so check them out.

Amazing watching the crocs during feeding time

Nile Crocs

(Translated by Google) asked for water - did not give (Original) попросила воды - не дали

Very cool seeing the crocodiles up close especially on Sundays around 4 pm it's feeding time. But i really didn't care for how the people working there where kicking the crocodiles and poking them with sticks.

Enjoyed

Enjoy the natural beauty of crocodiles

Good

I want to believe the situation at this place is coz of covid but I would never go back.We only saw like 5 crocs and 3 ostriches.No tortoise.Honestly the place looks deserted,the washrooms haven't been cleaned in like months, it's bushy and all.The management should just bring this place back to life

Twas amazing I hope the government remembers to reboost the place its slowly coming to an end
