The Meserani Snake Park stands as a captivating destination for adventurers and wildlife enthusiasts alike. Founded in 1993, this park boasts a rich history and a diverse array of reptilian wonders, including Tanzania’s Most Dangerous Snakes.

Together, they transformed a desolate plot of land into a thriving oasis, teeming with life and lush greenery, all while championing the conservation of Tanzania‘s Most Dangerous Snakes.
Initially spanning ten acres of barren terrain, The Meserani Snake Park has blossomed into a vibrant sanctuary, providing livelihoods for the local community and providing initiatives like the free medical clinic and orphanage. Beyond its conservation efforts, the park actively engages in community development projects, such as building classrooms and facilitating adult education programs.
