A county tourism portal dedicated to sharing Tana River’s landscapes, communities, and visitor experiences with the world.
Our story
Tana River County takes its name from Kenya’s longest river — a lifeline that shapes ecosystems from inland plains to the Indian Ocean. The river feeds wetlands, mangroves, and delta dunes that form one of East Africa’s most distinctive natural environments.
Tembea Tana is the County’s invitation to explore: river adventures, coastal calm at Kipini, wildlife and birding in the delta, and cultural journeys among communities whose heritage is woven into the land.
We promote responsible, community-rooted tourism that protects fragile habitats while opening doors for visitors seeking authentic Kenya beyond the well-worn trails. Partnerships with national institutions strengthen conservation, culture, and visitor services.
Visit Tana River
From river excursions to wildlife encounters, Tana River County offers authentic experiences in unspoiled landscapes. Hippos, rare birds, and thriving wetlands make the delta one of Kenya’s most distinctive natural destinations.
We aim to be the ultimate tourism resource for the county — helping travellers plan safe, exciting, and sustainable trips while highlighting benefits for local communities.
