Delta Dunes, “The Wild place by the Sea� is a lodge uniquely combining beach, river and bush to give you an unforgettable experience.
Perched on top of miles of rolling rippling sand dunes with fabulous views overlooking the old delta of the Tana River on one side and the Indian Ocean on the other, alfresco accommodation and mess area are built in a castaway style but with all the ultimate comforts.

This is the only wetland of its type in Eastern Africa. Explore this phenomenon with incredible birdlife; aquatic life and wildlife coupled with endless miles of vast uninhabited beach that is wild, exciting and extremely beautiful……all to yourself!

Location
North of Mombasa and Malindi, on Kenya's Indian Ocean Coast, on the middle outlet of the Tana
River.
Setting
The lodge is situated amongst and atop enormous white sand dunes, shaded by doum palms,
baobabs and tamarind trees. It looks out to sea across a twenty mile stretch of wide, empty, surfkissed
beach and inland over the extensive estuary of the Tana; a vast playground for hippo,
crocodile and other wildlife. Birds of every size and hue abound. The swimming pool, spectacularly
positioned a hundred feet up in the dunes, is a delicious cool refuge from the force of the equatorial
sun.
