This guide provides a detailed breakdown of the Bamburi Forest Trails entrance fees for visitors planning a nature-filled experience in Mombasa. Bamburi Forest Trails is located within Bamburi Haller Park, opposite Bamburi Beach Hotel along the Mombasa–Malindi highway. The facility was opened to the public in 1997 following the remarkable rehabilitation of abandoned Bamburi Cement quarries. This transformation converted barren pits into thriving forests, lakes, streams, palm groves and plantations of indigenous trees.
