This half-day excursion pairs two very different attractions a short drive from Mombasa Port: a large Nile crocodile farm and a cultural centre built around the work of artisans with disabilities. It suits cruise passengers who want a shorter outing with more to talk about than a straightforward sightseeing stop.<\/p>\n
Mamba Village is one of Kenya\u2019s largest Nile crocodile farms, with ponds holding crocodiles of different ages and sizes, from hatchlings to large adults. Walkways let visitors view the animals at a safe distance, and guides explain the farm\u2019s breeding programme and the biology of the Nile crocodile, one of Africa\u2019s largest reptiles.<\/p>\n
Nearby, the Bombolulu Cultural Centre is run in connection with a workshop employing artisans with physical disabilities, who produce jewellery, textiles and woodwork sold on site. A cultural village area recreates traditional homesteads from several Kenyan communities, and a scheduled traditional dance performance is often included, giving a genuine look at the centre\u2019s work alongside the cultural displays.<\/p>\n
Both sites are close to each other and to the port, which keeps travel time low and makes this a practical choice for a shorter port call or as a second, lighter excursion on a day when you have already done something more active.<\/p>\n
Proceeds from craft sales at Bombolulu directly support the artisans who make them, so visitors who choose to buy something are contributing to the centre\u2019s work; purchases are entirely optional.<\/p>\n
The price is a guide per person and includes both entry fees, transport and a guide. Craft purchases and any extra crocodile-feeding demonstrations are paid separately on site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
