Mida creek
Nestled within the enchanting embrace of Arabuko Sokoke Forest lies one of Watamu’s best-kept secrets: Mida Creek. This expansive tidal creek, stretching inland from the sea, is a haven of tranquility, where extensive mangroves and swaying palms frame its shimmering waters.
Covering an impressive 32 square kilometers, Mida Creek is teeming with life. Its healthy beds of seagrass and coral provide a thriving habitat for a myriad of fish species and grazing sea turtles. Meanwhile, the labyrinthine mangroves harbor hidden streams and inlets, offering sanctuary to crabs and a diverse array of birdlife.
Mida Creek is a vital stopover for migratory birds, making it a crucial protected area for their survival. As such, it stands as one of the most significant and breathtaking natural attractions along the Kenyan coast.
The best way to experience Mida Creek is by boat, drifting through its tranquil waters at sunset as the golden hues of dusk paint the sky and flocks of birds take flight. Keep an eye out for the graceful flamingoes that often grace the creek with their presence. For a more immersive adventure, embark on a kayaking expedition, navigating the maze-like channels of the mangroves where kingfishers dart and fish eagles soar overhead. Alternatively, try stand-up paddleboarding or opt for a guided float through the gentle tidal currents.
Adventurers seeking thrills will find ample opportunities for waterskiing and wakeboarding in the central broadwater. Along the shoreline, the Mida Creek Conservation Community operates a crab farm and rustic crab shack restaurant, offering delectable crab dishes – including their renowned crab samosas – served on a boardwalk overlooking the mangroves.
