Begin your adventure by exploring the Mida Creek reserve, a stunning area formed of extensive mangrove forests, warm shallow waters, and large areas of mud flats at low tide.

This area hosts not only many local birds, such as greater flamingo, yellow-billed stork, great white egret, and malachite kingfisher, but is also the winter home of many migrants such as the crab plover, curlew sandpiper, whimbrel, and sanderling. The osprey and African fish eagle are often overhead.

The Creek is used by the local population for subsistence level fishing. Many small, dugout canoes will pass as you cruise in the creek. A bird-lovers paradise, Mida Creek is also the spot to watch the spectacular African sunsets whilst sipping an icy cold Dawa aboard an old Arabian dhow at the end of an active day.

Mida Creek boasts extensive mangrove forests, mudflats, and shallow waters, providing crucial habitats for various species. The creek attracts numerous migratory and resident bird species, making it a popular spot for bird enthusiasts.

Exploring Mida Creek by boat, whether by canoe, dhow, or motorboat, is a common way to experience its beauty and wildlife. The creek, along with Arabuko-Sokoke Forest, is recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, highlighting its importance for biodiversity conservation and sustainable use.

Local communities are involved in projects like mangrove replanting and running a crab farm and restaurant, contributing to both conservation and economic development.
