SNAKE FARM & LABORATORY

We also spent some time in this humble-looking place (🎟️500 KES), one of the world’s most renowned snake research centers. Bio-Ken specializes in antivenin research and acts as an emergency service for snakebite victims throughout the region. A passionate guide led an excellent 30-minute tour (tip 200 KES), during which she introduced us 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. They do snake milking at 11:00 and snake handling at 15:00.
