Vipingo Ridge Snake & Wildlife Tour

Start your day with a pickup from your accommodation in Vipingo or a designated meeting point in Kilifi. Travel to the tour’s starting location (exact pickup time may vary based on your booking).

Begin with a guided visit to the Vipingo Snake Park, a key highlight of the tour. Learn about Kenya’s rarest snakes from expert guides, including their habitats, behaviors, and conservation efforts. Expect to see species like the Kenyan horned viper or the puff adder, depending on the park’s collection.

Duration: ~1-1.5 hours.

Move to an area within the park or nearby where crocodiles and monitor lizards can be observed. This could involve a short walk or a viewing platform. Guides will point out these reptiles in their natural or semi-natural enclosures, sharing insights about their ecology.

Duration: ~45 minutes.

Embark on a guided walk through the coastal forests surrounding Vipingo. This is a chance to immerse yourself in the lush environment, spot local wildlife (like birds or small mammals), and learn about the region’s flora and fauna. The trail may wind through shaded paths with views of the Indian Ocean in the distance.

Duration: ~1.5-2 hours.

Enjoy a packed lunch or a meal at a designated spot (likely arranged by the tour operator—check your booking details). This is a great time to relax and recharge amidst the natural surroundings.

Depending on the tour’s pace, you might have additional time to explore more of the forest or revisit the Snake Park for a deeper look at exhibits you found intriguing. Some tours may include a short Q&A with guides or a chance to see feeding sessions for the animals.

Duration: ~1 hour.

Conclude the tour with a summary from your guide and some free time for photos or questions. Begin the return journey to your drop-off point.

Arrive back at your accommodation or the original meeting point, ending your day of wildlife adventure.
