About

The boardwalk and canoe trip through the mangroves with a guide like Juma is peaceful and educational — you're supporting 20 years of conservation work by ARocha. The food is surprisingly good, and the cocktails by the creek at sunset are excellent.

    Great birding, boardwalk and canoe trip with guide in the Mangroves and on Mida creek. Excellent to be supporting the ongoing ARocha project for the conservation of the creek and mangroves and uplifting of the community. 20 years of consistent work and dedication

    Mida creek is a fascinating place for nature and enthusiasts! The boat ride is so peaceful covered in by the mangrove forest which supports the local eco system! Peace , nature and sunsets are best here .

    Usually I don’t write recommendations. Because this was such a lovely trip with great food and an amazing and knowledgeable tour guide (Juma, thank you so much!!) , I would highly recommend a trip to Mida Creek. It is a project to conserve the local ecosystem and supports the local community. Consider supporting it by visiting and having a tour, I really enjoyed it for the different mangroves, the birds, other animals and especially the amazing guide Juma.
