Mida Creek, part of the Malindi-Watamu Biosphere Reserve, is a mangrove swamp par excellence. This natural labyrinth of tidal mud flats, open shallow waters and mangrove forest is an important feeding ground for indigenous waterfowl and wintering area for migratory waders. What's more, it's an important habitat for a myriad of marine life - crustaceans, invertebrates, turtles and fish. Tour the creek in a dugout canoe. Explore the forest on a hanging boardwalk. Spy on nature at a bird hide. Steal a look at life in a mangrove forest and tidal creek. Spot waders, kingfishers, greater flamingos, and crab plovers. See green turtles, crabs, and giant groupers. Note a variety of fauna. Enjoy a traditional lunch on Kirepwe Island.
