Haller Park-A Perfect Serene Jewel

A foot path in the Haller Park-so serene,so natural



The coastal strip of Kenya is the surest place to be in Kenya supposing one ever imagines of a place to have time off from the hustles and tussles of life.It is not the the five star tourist hotels with the finest accommodation ,the rich myriad cuisine,the brimming urban night life in the hottest entertainment spots one can ever imagine of;not the tumbling beautiful girls of the towns-for the gents, but the
MOMBASA town-the famous Elephant Tusks
glamour is as a result these and what one has to see:the sceneries.Thesandy magnificent beaches,the landscapes and the wildlife is quite refreshing and amazingly breath taking.The combination of nature's providence and the product of human effort to make the coast a place to be has resulted in one of the most beautiful places to be in the world.I can think of the world's most amazing tourist destinations where the rich and the poor alike would like to be like Miami,the Bermuda or the exotic Dubai fancy city but the  coastal region of Kenya is the place to be.

Arriving in Mombasa town is such a hilarious experience.It is the finest relaxation and fun spot.There are just more than places to be with uncountable things to do worth making you feel like you never have the other side of your life with demands that make your head spin 24/7 .However,this can be a little  deceiving when you have to imagine that there can another  a paradise somewhere in town that is amazingly beautiful,the the Haller Park at Bamburi Nature Trail hidden from the obvious sites and joints you fast take notice of.

Haller park would be my perfect idea of a paradise on earth.The feeling of being at Bamburi Nature trail is one of those feelings that language fails to gives us enough words to describe.It is nature beyond nature's mere providence of artistic labour.It is ecstatic!

Adorned with varied species of wood that feels with the heart with the healthy green which is a symbol of nature's vitality,the heart swells with pleasure on arriving at the place.It is not only the trees but the wild growth on the floor of the wooded park with demarcated paths  winding around this rich greenly growth with towering trees above shielding the sun whose rays fall in beautiful patterns on the ground that makes it touching to the heart.


The varied configured floor of the nature trail,gives it a scenic quality,a mark of an artist curving a beautiful artwork form the land surface just to create that which will be appealing to the eyes.Trees and vegetation jut in on the slopes and raised grounds with water and flowering water plants in the basins below that are scattered through out the area.

The park is quite tranquil land the air more than just fresh.You close your eyes and let it rush in the lungs and the teaming with more than enough species of birds,nature's beautiful music wraps it up you feel like you are feeling your lungs with life itself.You open your eyes and the peace of the park reaches your soul and as the elegant plants from the ponds below,up the competing slopes and raised mounds  dance in the cool breeze wafting through the park hit your eyes,the least you can do is to let your heart loose and feel the serenading touch of nature at play.


The varied animal species kept in the park from fish in large ponds,to giraffes,hippos,snakes and birds is jewel that adds glamour to this already captivating place.It is the finest place to reach out to your inner-self; a perfect moment to hold your loves hand and tell her/him those little things he/she wishes to hear but life's rush never allows you to.It is a palace to experience nature's noble offering.Being here remind you of the value of being alive.It activates your self worth and the need to, like the showering eleganance around,unleash the talented and beautiful you and touch the world in same way as what you experience in the park.

The interplay of nature's beautiful workings at Haller park looks so real beyond nature's mere providence.It has the human touch with finest landscaping job having done.Looking around the park you never get to imagine that this a reclaimed derelict land once robbed of its beauty by marauding heavy quarrying machine in search of limestone for the cement company not so far away from it.This should be a wasteland where no human being would wish to be.It is supposed to be death trap with wide gaping holes filled with water enough to drown souls that trespass here.I would be a perfect reminder human's mindless destruction of what they never created.But it has been turned to be a glorious life-giving joint so welcoming you never think of what it was and the labour given unto to its creation


But the quest of Bamburi Cement company to make the place useful again is an all time proof our other side,the ability to create,nurture and improve what nature has provided us with.Haller who engineered the whole project is an amazing brain worth recognition.Being here is like walking in the trail of his winding vision and imagination.I love paintings,the finest that can ever be made but this is more than the feeling of staring at captured lifeless beauty,but being here is an experience of its,the walk I had on the paths in the shadows of the trees a jewel round my memories that make my existence so rich.

Next time you go to Mombasa,don't miss out to be here;not just as a tourist but also for a wide other functions such a retreats,team building,and above all....WEDDINGS!I can't think of  a perfect place to have a brush with love other than this place;to promise to love while the birds sing and others watch in disbelief.
