A maze of tidal creeks and mangrove swamps, salt marshes and mud flats encircle islands of Dhoum palm forest, bush covered dunes and grassland.

This inland delta has been cut by the Tana River changing course back and forth across its flood plain. Barricaded behind a rampart of sand dunes, which line the Ufungamano Bay , blocking the river's direct path to the Indian Ocean . The resulting Lower Tana Delta Wetlands is a conservation area of 50,000 hectares set aside by the Pokomo and Orma communities to safeguard this unique ecosystem.

The Delta Dunes lodge is located on one of the ancient mouths of the Tana River . An excellent base from which to explore this archipelago of saltwater creeks and fresh water channels, mangrove and dhoum palm forests, grasslands and mud flats. You can witness the vast array of bird and wildlife that thrives here and take boat trips or walks into this paradise for birds, crocodile, hippo and other game, escorted by our guide and trackers from the local community. Learn how the fiddler crab holds a key role in this complex ecosystem and how the mangrove survives in this saline world. Watch the crocodile and hippo slip beneath the surface of the fresh water channels and the silent swoop of the African Fish eagles as they snatch fish from the creeks. See Topi and Buffalo grazing on the grass plains or catch a glimpse of the shy elephant herds that use the delta as a dry season reserve.

Finally returning to shared experiences and tall tales in the comfort of the lodge.
