Beside monkeys, bush-babies, a rich bird population and a multitude of colorful butterflies, M18339 Porini Farm you will see giant Aldabra Tortoises, crocodiles and Pythons. Giriama, the local tribe of the Kenyan North coast, live with their children live on the land. So you have the opportunity to experience how tools, music-instruments and all sorts of useful things are being made with simplest traditional methods. Know more about the life of the Giriama!
Altogether there is much to discover. The botanist amongst you will require probably quite some time in order to determine all the tropical plants in the garden. Those who follow attentively the narrow walkways around the garden will take pleasure in the variety of the fauna. In a small water pond turtles are sunbathing and you may detect some Lizards, Perches and Catfishes. Frogs and Toads are keeping short the insects.
The night belongs to the bats, cicadas and crickets as well as to the bush-babies, who fill the nightly silence with their sounds. A camp fire under the open sky with its thousands of stars as natural illumination together with the music of the Giriama dancers will make you feel being in another world.
Although the daring monkeys now and again make off with mangoes, papayas or bananas, we are proud of our animal guests. As well you find different kinds of land turtles and terrapins in the garden. Particularly the giant Aldabra tortoises (originating from the Seychelles) impress.
