The Butterfly Pavilion in Mombasa, also known as Bamburi Nature Trails, is part of the Haller Park conservation project by the Bamburi Cement Factory in Mombasa. The pavilion is a tropical paradise, home to over 16 different species of butterflies and various antelope. The nature trails are set on over 80 acres of lush green land, home to myriad plant and animal species. Whether you’re a nature lover, an adventure seeker, or simply looking for a peaceful escape, Bamburi Nature Trails has something for everyone.
The trails themselves are well-maintained and offer various routes, ranging from short, easy walks to longer, more strenuous hikes. As you make your way through the courses, you’ll be surrounded by towering trees, vibrant flowers, and chirping birds, all of which contribute to the serene atmosphere of the park. In addition to the trails, there are several picnic areas where you can take a break and enjoy a snack or a meal and a lake home to a variety of fish and waterfowl.
While you won’t see any large predators, you will have the opportunity to see many other animals, including monkeys, bush babies, and over 140 species of birds. The park is also home to several plant species, many of which are native to Kenya and can only be found in this region.
