Mida creek nature camp was one of my most favorite places I have stayed in Kenya. This is owing to the fact that as soon as i walked onto the beautiful, neat , well kept grounds, full of natural structures, trees & birds - I felt an overwhelming sense of calmness and serenity. Most importantly what made my stay so special, was the people of Mida and wonderful hospitality of Harrison & his family. From the moment we arrived Harrison & his family went over and above to treat us not only as guests, but as friends. This made up keep extending and extending our stay as we didn’t want to leave. Nature camp offers not only a place to sleep but an immersive experience where you can engage with the local, slow paced life at the creek. We enjoyed walking around the village, swimming at the creek nearby, playing endless games for hours on end with Harrison’s children and nieces and nephews & sharing meals together. The breakfast is delicious and very generous in portions, tea is also served in the morning. Harrison and John are very knowledgeable and can give great local recommendations if need be. I must mention that while I found the accommodation perfect & very comfortable; it may not be for everyone. There is no electricity, only solar powered lights and a power bank. And you will have to use buckets to bathe and flush the toilets. The rooms are very clean and well kept, with nice bedding. It’s a true nature experience. The only thing that was wrong - that I couldn’t spend more time there ! I would love to come back to spend two weeks here. Thanks for everything Sasha & joe.

If you’re looking for a local and authentic experience grounded in Nature, this is the place to be. Harrison and his family will go the extra mile to make you feel welcomed and gift you one of the most incredible experiences you can wish for in Kenya.

We loved our stay at Mida Creek nature camp with Harisson and his family. We did the cooking class and shared dinner with them talking about local life in Mida. We stayed in our tent for 10$ the night for two and could use the bungalow's bathroom. Would recommend for anyone who want to discover local life. They are so welcoming !

This family-run campsite gives you the full experience of local culture. Accommodation is basic but clean and nice. The whole place has lots of trees, shaded areas, places to relax, hanging beds, chairs, and decks. Breakfasts are Swahili-style—rich and delicious. There's a list of activities you can join, and that's the kind of experience you come here for. I did the mangrove walk & boat ride and the cooking class and I can recommend both. Harrison, his family, and their helpful friends are just the kind of people you want to stay with.

As a solo traveler, this was one of my favourite experiences during the trip. I was welcomed into Harrisons family and had an incredibly relaxing time full of good food, immersed in the beautiful environment of Mida creek. It’s one of the few place I’ve been to where I felt like every cent was invested well, in the local community and their climate actions related to mangrove preservations. The boat tour is highly recommended!
