This is the Tana Delta, a conservation area of 50,000 hectares. The main river is clad in stretches of the thick riverine forest with fig and palm trees. Explorable by boat trips these forests are teeming with interesting birdlife and often shelter buffalo, elephant, hippo, and crocodile as well as a host of smaller, shyer antelope and primates. The number of bird species can as well be spotted at the river base. The delta is both a breeding and a feeding site for thousands of birds. It is home to the endangered Malindi Pipit and the Basra Reed Warbler. Due to fluctuating salinity at the river mouth, habitat for thousands of snails is created that lures more than 1500 birds every day.<\/p>\n

The Pokomo and Orma are the two main tribes in the area. They have very different backgrounds and cultures and both are very hospitable, welcoming prior arranged visits to their villages.<\/p>\n
