Timeline
13:00
Enter Haller Park early in the afternoon. The description notes that 14:00 to 15:00 is the best time to visit, likely because the animals are more active in the cooler hours and the midday heat has not yet peaked. You will see the famous hippo Owen and the tortoise Mzee, along with giraffes and monkeys in their restored coral reef habitat.
15:30
Walk to Bob's Bar for a drink or light snack. This lively pub is just an 8-minute walk from the park. It is one of the few bars open until sunrise, making it a popular spot to relax and recharge after your walk. The terrace offers a pleasant place to sit.
16:00
End your outing at Bamburi Haller Park. This viewing spot is only a 6-minute walk from Bob's Bar. It offers a closer look at the park's surroundings and is a quiet place to reflect on the animals you just saw. The park is open daily from 08:30 to 17:30, so you have plenty of time to finish your visit before closing.
Local tip
