Kilifi Creek, KenyaThe CreekWhere the lodge meets the water
A few hundred metres of warm tidal water, mangrove edges, and a small fleet of canoes, kayaks and a Swahili dhow.
Our Backyard
Salt water, mangroves, slow current
The Kilifi creek is wide, warm and tidally fed. At high tide it is good for swimming, kayaking and dhow rides; at low tide we walk the mangroves and tube down with the current. Quiet, calm, no crowds.
Tubes, paddleboards and kayaks
On the Water
Free for guests during daylight. Tubing the creek at high tide is a half-day favourite — slow current, warm water, mangroves on either side.
Sail with us as the light goes
Sunset Dhow
Our small dhow takes up to eight guests at a time. We sail at golden hour, drink something cold, and watch the bats leave the mangroves at dusk.
