By supporting conservation efforts and promoting awareness about the importance of protecting our natural world, the centre is making a significant impact on the region’s environmental well-being.
Things to do at the butterfly house:-The Beauty of the Butterfly Garden
The Butterfly House is set within an enchanting garden, where the lush greenery provides the perfect backdrop for butterfly watching. The carefully planned garden has an array of flowering plants and shrubs that attract butterflies, making it an ideal spot for photography and leisurely strolls. Visitors can marvel at the graceful flight of butterflies as they flit from flower to flower, collecting nectar, or perhaps even witness the moment when a butterfly emerges from its cocoon, ready to take flight.
The Mombasa Butterfly House also collaborates with local communities, helping to generate income through eco-tourism while simultaneously raising awareness about the importance of sustainable farming practices that protect both the environment and wildlife.
While at the centre, visit the Gift shop, and take time at the outdoor Amphitheatre facility facing the sea!
