Bamburi

Bamburi /ˌbæmˈbɜːriː/ is a commercial, industrial and local electoral, administrative and a popular tourist and residential area on the Kenyan north-coast which extends from the coastline on the Indian ocean to the surrounding middle and low-income settlements on the mainland. Administratively, Bamburi is in the Kisauni sub-county of Mombasa and has some of the best tourist and beach-front facilities in the world which include popular international and local hotels and parks such as Serena International Beach Hotel, Sai Rock Hotel, Kahamas Hotel, Haller Park and Butterfly Pavilion.

Haller Park

In 1971, Rene Haller transformed parts of the cement- and quarry-complex into a Haller Park nature reserve. The 11 km² area holds a variety of native game, and (prior to 2007) the highly covered attraction of Owen and Mzee - the friendship of a hippopotamus and a tortoise.

Transport

Bamburi is reached by bus or matatu from Mombasa island en route to Mtwapa or Malindi. Terminal matatus serve the Bamburi Cement complex
