We spent Two nights in this paradise with other families over New Years Eve. What a fantastic spot, put together simply, elegantly and very comfortably. The staff were friendly and attentive, but not too familiar. Service was excellent. Lots to do, and a perfect match of Beach and Bush. We will definitely go back - well done!

The thought of a Swiss urban family staying in Bungalows without walls (just thatched roofs), 24/24h outdoors, in the middle of Kenya seemed strange to us, too. Or to say, we also had our doubts about it, especially as we are a Swiss urban family and it is not only the snakes that one thinks of as a threat before going to a trip to Africa... But, from the very first moment, we realised that our fears were in vain. We landed on a nearby air-strip and were welcomed by Ibrahim and Kombo who took us after 20 min boat drive to a place as close to paradise as it gets. Florian (the lodge manager) and his team were waiting for us and they all proved to be the most attentive hosts. We stayed 4 nights, waking up with the sun rising. Seeing the dawn without even having to lift your head from your bed is a wonderful way to start your day. So it turned out, that „no walls“ is something to recommend. The occasional visits by vervet monkeys were absolutely unproblematic and just added to the „out-door“ experience. Needles to say that one feels so protected by all the staff during the day and the askaris (watchmen) during the night, who are sure to leave you enough privacy. We would say that four days is an absolute minimum in the Tana Delta Dunes as there is so much to do, and so many great dishes to taste. Bird watching is an absolute highlight and the boat trips along the mangroves are a pleasure. We have been to several places in the world, but this place is unrivalled in number of species and distance to which you get to the birds. The knowledge of the guide was excellent, not only about the animals but also about the plants. Our two girls (10 and 13) enjoyed sand-yachting and fishing, while we were looking forward to the sun downers. This is a place, which we can definitely recommend. A very big thanks to all the team for the most wonderful time we had. We will never forget it and hope to come back! Leila and Jean-Michel

Our 3rd and last stop on our first African adventure could not have ended on a better note. The flight to Malindi was easy. The trip by car to the Tana took nearly 3 hours and then another 20 minutes by motor boat to the lodge. The lodge is built on the dunes that are wedged in between the Tana river and the Indian Ocean. A perfect location for a place like this. The facilities have a "rustic/elegant" style. A lot of the furniture and decor is made from driftwood or stuff that have been washed on the beach over the years...done in a very classy way. Our room high on the dunes and was comfortable with a view of the river. We did get a wake up call from a group of about 6 monkeys...they were so cute, but did scatter some of our belongings around the room. We let them. The food was the best we had on our trip. Wilson, the chef, is outstanding. I wanted to bring him home with us :) The seafood served was very fresh, right from the waters in front of the lodge. One night we had giant lobsters, the largest I have ever seen. The pool is great! Clean and warm. The beach is great. The water is very warm and the waves are long and mild, perfect for body surfing. I could have spent a months here, but unfortunately we had to go. Thanks Anna and crew for a fabulous experience.
