Tana River
Tana River Delta
This is the perfect destination for those looking for a safari with a difference. On remote beaches between Malindi and Lamu, the chocolate brown waters of the Tana River, Kenya’s longest river, meet the Indian Ocean in a massive River Delta. This isolated region is where the vast inland wilderness meets the beauty of the coast. The Tana Delta is a place of spectacular panoramic views, in rugged scrubland teeming with game and birds amidst endless rolling sand dunes of deserted beaches.
You can spend the morning exploring a river filled with hippo and crocodile by canoe, and swimming in the blue waters of the Indian Ocean in the afternoon.
The Tana River Delta is best accessed by road (a 3 hour drive) from Malindi. There is an airstrip for private charters. The only available accommodation in this area is at the Tana Delta Camp, where boats are available for travel upriver. This is an excellent place for walking.
