Bamburi Forest Trails Entrance Fees are a top concern for many visitors planning a peaceful outdoor escape in Mombasa. The forest trails sit inside Bamburi Haller Park, opposite Bamburi Beach Hotel along the busy Mombasa-Malindi highway.
The facility gives tourists, families, students, and fitness lovers a quiet place to walk, jog, cycle, relax, and enjoy nature. Many people visit to unwind, exercise, or explore the rich landscape that grew from abandoned quarries.
This guide explains all Bamburi Forest Trails entrance fees and helps you plan your budget with confidence.
Bamburi Forest Trails Overview
Bamburi Forest Trails opened in 1997 after a massive rehabilitation effort led by Bamburi Cement. Abandoned quarries were transformed into green forests filled with lakes, streams, palm groves, and wide plantations of indigenous trees.
Today, the trails offer a 3.6-km leisure walk, a 3-km jungle jogging stretch, a 10-km cycling route, and a spacious playground for children. The facility operates every day from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, and visitors must leave by 6:00 pm.
Lafarge Eco Systems, the environmental management arm of Bamburi Cement Plc, runs and maintains the site. Families, tourists, school groups, and fitness clubs visit the trails to enjoy fresh air and calm surroundings.
