Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

One of the best places we visited in Nairobi; if you have teens, definitely a place to take them. It is the knowledge you get from the guides that is precious, and the more you interact with them with relevant questions and exchanges, the more they give you. By the time we made our safaris, where you cannot approach them, we could better spot and read the situations with crocodiles. Sure, the place is run down, but this is in a developing country, so expected, and anyway it is not the installations we came here for. Worst is the elephant orphange, since elefants live in group and no such thing as an orphan elephant exists in the savannah - they make them orphans by petnapping them. Btw, we just took an Uber from the hotel to Mamba; no need for a travel agency. Also, take water bottles.

Mamba is a Swahili word for crocodile. I didn't expect to see a number of crocodiles and learn more facts about them. Who knew the sex of a crocodile was temperature influenced? Definitely not me. But now I do, I learnt that under cold temp and hot temp the hatchlings are female and male respectively. Mamba village is indeed a hub of Crocs.
Apart from the crocodiles it hosts 3 species of tortoises that is the leopard, terrapin( not sure with sp) and the speke's hinge back tortoise.
It also has a great dam scenary, picnic site and is child friendly.
Almost forgot about the ostriches, though there was just one specie, the Maasai ostrich both male and female.

It was our first time visiting the Mamba Village in Nairobi , located off Langata - Karen Road.
Entrance Charges:
Non Resident Adult: $10
Non Resident Child : $5
Resident Adult : ksh400
Resident Child : ksh200
Citizen Adult : ksh200
Citizen Child : ksh150
The main attractions in the Park would have to be the Nile Crocodiles and of course the luxury of feeding the Ostriches up close. The place is very run down to the point that it looks abandoned and some structure’s and facilities ( art gallery is closed down and the playground amenities are neglected ) are in a dilapidated state and is in need of improvement.
Overall the experience was okay , the staffs were very pleasant and very knowledgeable / informative which we appreciated.

As a potential future member of the IUCN Crocodile Specialist Group, the status of the animals was poor but after a long discussion with one of the best staff members (Mr.Fonel who is now a close friend due to our similar passions) I began to understand their troubles and that in truth, he and some of the other staff truly care about these awesome reptiles. As someone who not only named some of the animals there, as well as deeply cared for them as if they were my own during my short two day visits, me and Mr. Fonel got along well and discussed the future of this place. While it’s run down, we’re really hoping that the new management team coming will aid in the transition from a overpacked area to a well spaced area with crocodiles in a less stressed environment.
Unfortunately Mr. Fonel wasn’t in the area for decisions but we discussed how a lot of unused land on the property could turn into a much more spacey, and natural enclosure for crocodiles, especially to separate some of the “troublemaker” Males such as Scar, a animal just below 3 meters who frequently causes fights even bullying other male crocodiles nearly twice his size and sometimes attacks keepers.
Scar was the croc I had the most eyes on, especially because of his aggression, the main enclosure is overpacked but Mr. Fonel told me that in the past, the main enclosure was far more expansive & better for all the Adult crocodiles(you can even see sand still remaining from back then) but corruption amongst the people in control during the past made the enclosures shrink dramatically and the reason for this is unknown. The Current Owner, Mr. Matuto, was also very kind during a quick phone call and even let me in free because of my status but I could not discuss the status of the property and the animals during my visit as he was busy elsewhere.
There was some other aggressive animals in the other enclosures, even among the juveniles which are supposed to be very docile, but I gave my new friend the idea of something just to enrich the animals(Such as giving them chewable objects to mess around with as crocodilians do show play behavior with such things) and provoke them less with sticks, as this will probably reduce some of the aggressive behavior of the animals before any renovations are done. My idea was that they could turn the unused land near the entrance into a nursery of sorts for baby crocodiles that is 7 meters long and 9 meters wide(This is the preferable enclosure size for the 7 juvenile animals that I was most fond of and potentially later for smaller individuals). Instead of using concrete as well, the animals would get a large natural water source which is already possible due to the extremely massive pond which is also used to clean the adult enclosures. Natural prey such as fish would also go into said ponds in the enclosure so the animals can have a varied diet instead of just cow flesh that we fed them with. I have also noted, some of the juveniles are extremely used to human interaction and are entirely relaxed when I went into the enclosure to observe them up close, others were showing natural behavior of either attempting to stalk me, or diving away.
The place allows daring people to get into the enclosure, even with the aggressive adults which I frowned upon. I understand that with the smaller individuals, this is at least somewhat okay if the people inside are forced to keep a large distance unless they’re like me and know how the animals will behave, but seeing tourist who know nothing about crocodile behavior getting into the enclosures with the 3-4 meter highly territorial adult males is just a recipe for disaster, even if the area is not liable for any injury or death inside the enclosures.
Keepers or people with already proper experience with both wild and captive adult crocodiles such as myself should be the only ones allowed to enter the enclosures with Adult Animals, juveniles is a maybe because many of them are already as docile as a crocodile can be, and some even show enjoyment to being touched or scratched on the neck or spinal region, but even then, caution should be advised at all cost.
Overall, this place currently isn’t in the best shape and needs a lot of work but I know in the future, it will definitely get somewhere better, I hope those crocodiles especially the ones I named such as Mean Old Scar, Magar the Boss Croc, the juvenile squad and all the other animals all get better treatment that they deserve, me and Mr. Fonel both know crocodiles aren’t mindless killing machines(I have already been up close to a 5 meter wild Mara Crocodile) and when I went with them, it was even more obvious so.
Decent place with lots of hidden potential.

Place was totally run down. Brought 65 street kids, most of amusements were out of order. Amusements/ merry go rounds not fit for purpose. Paid non residential rates for 4 adults which was more than total for 65 kids and their 12 teachers. Would never return

Très joli lieu avec des animaux à voir de très près et un guide très agréable pour notre visite. Nous aussi profité d'une balade en barque (optionnelle). Cet endroit gagnerait à être plus connu, je recommande !

It is really sad to see such a place with such a great potential to look totally deserted.
Animals kept in very smaller spaces especially the crocodiles.
No canteens or any kind of shop to buy snacks.
If the owners could renovate the place well and the animals well taken care of ...have the small restaraunts and kiosks slowly reopen. It could be a very beautiful place .
1 star for the nice staff that was helpful.

Would definitely not recommend! Primarily, I have deep concerns over how the animals are kept, their welfare certainly is not the primary function of this place! Very run down and cruel.

De tolv beste dyreopplevelsene i verden: safari, dvergpingviner og mer
Det er noe magisk med å se dyr i sitt naturlige habitat. Enten det er pingviner som marsjerer hjem, eller en løve som legger seg ned for å ta en lur, er det ingenting som overgår gleden av å se dyrene på ekte – spesielt hvis du er rett ved siden av dem.
