Designated as an Important Bird Area (IBA) and part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve together with Arabuko-Sokoke Forest, Mida Creek is a sanctuary for both resident and migratory bird species. Birds from as far as Europe and Eurasia stop here to rest or overwinter, making it a paradise for birdwatchers.

Common sightings include:

• Dimorphic Egrets, Lesser Crested and Roseate Terns
• Migrant shorebirds like Sanderling, Curlew Sandpiper, Little Stint, Whimbrel, Grey Plover, and Greater & Lesser Sandplover

Mida Creek’s mangrove channels and open waters are also critical nurseries and feeding grounds for a wide variety of fish species, such as:

• Jacks, Snappers, Groupers, Rabbitfish, Parrotfish, Emperors, and Barracuda

Additionally, this rich ecosystem plays a vital role in the life cycle of green and hawksbill sea turtles, serving as an important feeding and development area for juveniles.

Whether you’re gliding through the mangroves in a canoe, walking the elevated boardwalk, or watching the sunset over the creek, a visit to Mida Creek is a tranquil yet awe-inspiring experience that brings you closer to the wonders of coastal Kenya.
