YOUR SECLUDED HOME AT TANA RIVER DELTA
Delta Dunes Lodge, north of Malindi where the Tana River meets the Indian Ocean, offers a unique bush and beach experience. It's not just a safari lodge or a beach resort but a mix of both, like a Robinson Crusoe adventure. After a day in the bush, relax on the long, untouched sandy beach or enjoy the lodge's open design for a feeling of freedom. The seven cottages, built on sand dunes using local materials, have no doors or walls, offering amazing views of the sea, dunes, or river delta.
At Delta Dunes, you can fish in the delta, go water skiing, surfing, kayaking, or take a boat safari to see crocodiles and hippos. The pool and the long beach offer great relaxation, only shared with other lodge guests. Enjoy fresh fish and seafood with wine, overlooking the dunes and listening to the ocean waves.A Journey of Friendship, Wildlife, and Wild Dreams
While enjoying safaris in East Africa, we found joy in sharing our love for the continent, its people, wildlife, and hidden beautiful places. One evening, as we sat around a campfire with a gin and tonic, roasting lamb and watching hyenas circle in the darkness, an idea came to us. We thought about creating a small, exclusive group of lodges and camps. These places would be so special that guests would come as strangers but leave as friends. They would offer incredible experiences over fancy luxury, and take care of the communities and wildlife we cherish.
So, we started our journey, facing many challenges along the way, but we kept going with humor, passion, and, of course, a gin and tonic in hand! Eighteen years later, we're proud of what we've built. Our places have helped the environment, local communities, and wildlife. We've given hundreds of guests, now friends, life-changing experiences, and we keep growing stronger.
