This is a huge reserve consisting of creeks, tidal flats and savanna style landscapes. Wild mango trees and the highest mangrove trees make up the bulk of the vegetation. You will see a lot of birds and perhaps crocodiles, clawless otter and manatee.
After a few hours of relaxing and searching for animals, you will return to Tendaba Camp.
In the afternoon we will head back to your hotel on the coast.
