Mangroves and Coastal Forest
DODORI Park is located 280 km from Mombasa and lies close to the coast between Lamu and Kiunga. It comprises over 870 km sq of coastal forest, riverine forest, mangroves and savannah. It's best explored by boat. The reserve harbours a good number of Topi, which breed here in comparative safety. Also present are elephants, lesser kudu and zebras to add to the game interest. The channels and waterways are home to many water birds and are a refuge for the endangered and persecuted Dugong, which is a gentle aquatic mammal that eats sea grasses and other marine and estuarine vegetation.
On the remote shores of Kenya's far Northern coast, the mighty waters of the Tana River meet the sea in a massive River Delta. This isolated region is a truly unique location, where the great inland wilderness of the North meets the beauty of the coast. The Tana delta is a place of spectacular panoramic views, encompassing a scrubland teeming with game and birds and the endless rolling sands of deserted beaches. Here you can experience the best of both worlds, spending the morning exploring a river filled with hippo and crocodile by canoe, and swimming in the blue waters of the Indian Ocean in the afternoon. This is the perfect destination for those looking for a safari with a difference.
