The Athi-Galana-Sabaki River is the longest river in Kenya, flowing from the highlands to the Indian Ocean. Visitors can enjoy boat trips that reveal lush riverine vegetation, diverse birdlife, and occasional glimpses of crocodiles and hippos. The river's estuary near Malindi is particularly rich in bird species, making it a paradise for birdwatchers. The ever-changing landscape, from rapids to calm stretches, offers a serene escape into nature.
