Mulikani Community bandas are situated near the mouth of the main Tana river where it flows into the Indian ocean.

Perched atop sand dunes with views over the ocean, the fresh water Tana river & shade dappled mangrove swamps, is a simply built lodge with thatched rooves.

Mulikani is managed by the local community. There is 35 kms of beach & ocean to enjoy, river fishing, mangroves to explore, boat trips up the main Tana River and over 400 bird species to identify. Interesting nature walks along the top of the dunes can produce wonderful bird sightings and occasionally buffalo, elephant, eland, and bushbuck.

Facilities.

The lodge is a simple open structure, with a dining lounge area and beds for 8 people. All kitchen and dining utensils are provided. There are chairs & tables. The lodge is staffed with friendly community members. There is a basic cook and staff to clean & do laundry. The lodge can be booked on self catering basis. There is no fridge or freezer.

We usually set it up as part of a longer itinerary, and we take care of the food, drinks, provide a fridge etc, and our guide will take care of the logistics and will introduce you to an incredible part of the country where the Indian Ocean and the African savanna meet. It is an amazing place, and this photo gallery will give you a better idea of what to expect.
