Sabaki River Estuary Malindi Bird Watching Day Trip: Just north of Malindi is one of the “must-see” places for birders, the Sabaki River Estuary.
Sabaki River Estuary or the Sabaki River Mouth is located within Malindi District of Coast Province and about 5 km’s North of Malindi town, between the Malindi-Mambrui road bridge and the sea. Sabaki River Mouth marks the point where Kenya’s second-largest river (Athi-Galana-Sabaki River) empties into the ocean.
The largest river in Kenya is the Tana River. Our half-day bird watching tour takes us to the Sabaki River Estuary which covers an area of about 6 square km and consists of sandbanks, mud banks, dunes, and seasonal and permanent freshwater pools, mangroves, and scrub.
The state and size of the estuary vary seasonally depending on river flows. Just north and south of the River Mouth are grassy sand dunes that conceal permanent or temporary water pools of freshwater. Sabaki River mouth is one of the Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in Kenya.
It hosts large visiting stocks of the Madagascar Pranticole and is also an important nesting, roosting, and feeding ground for gulls and terns. A total of 68 species have been recorded.
Some of the species which have recorded sufficient numbers in the Sabaki estuary include; pelicans, cormorants, herons, flamingoes, ducks, geese, waders, gulls, terns, and kingfishers. Sabaki River Estuary is rich in fish and crustaceans which have in turn supported fishing which is the main livelihood for the people of the area.
The beaches are good nesting places for sea turtles. This Malindi tour visits the Sabaki River Mouth – a huge estuary with thousands of waders and terns, in addition to pelicans. Also renowned for rarities
