Its Located somewhere at 40o 20' East 2o 30' South. That is towards the North of Malindi Town. The Tana delta is the name loosely given to the flood-plain ecosystem of the lower Tana river, a vast wetland complex on the Kenyan coast. The delta is roughly triangular in shape, with its apex at Lake Bilisa (north of Garsen) and its base a 50 km stretch of beach along Ungwana Bay, stretching from Kipini in the North-East to Mto Kilifi in the South-West. This low-lying area is bounded by higher land to the east and west, and to the south by a dune system bordering the Indian Ocean. It forms the interface between the river and the ocean, with fresh and brackish lakes and streams, freshwater and saline grasslands and wetlands, and successional stages of forest and woodland on the riverbanks and the dune ridges parallel to the shore.
