This is a great place to visit if you are interested in conservation and reptiles. Bio-Ken has one of the largest collections of snakes in East Africa and the staff are incredibly knowledgeable and will guide you around the farm. It's a great place to bring children and if you are brave enough you can handle a snake.

Excellent snake farm with over 80 species of snakes that are very well looked after. Very well-informed guides show you around and part of your entry fee goes towards an 'Anti-venom Trust' which covers the cost of antivenom for anyone bitten by a snake who cannot afford to pay for it.

This humble-looking place is one of the world's most renowned snake research centres. Bio-Ken specialises in antivenin research and acts as an emergency service for snakebite victims throughout the region. Passionate guides lead excellent 45-minute tours (included in the price), during which they introduce you to such deadly beauties as the black spitting cobra, black mamba, horned viper, puff adder, and the innocuous-looking but deadly twig snake for whose venom there's no cure.
