Mambrui is in the northern part of Malindi in Kilifi County. The magnificent and breathtaking Mambrui sand dunes are found approximately 40 minutes away from Malindi town off Malindi-Lamu road.

The most fascinating thing about the scenic Mambrui sand dunes is that they are just besides the ocean and the estuary of Sabaki river.

The access to the sand dunes is through a motorable weather road after being cleared by the local community that manages the site. It’s open to the public up to 6.00pm due to the risk of facing the hippos that come out late in the evening, as we were informed by the local guide.

A relaxing stroll on sand dunes after the vehicle drop-off makes you feel like you are in Dubai.

Nature is quiet here, only its beauty speaks loud enough and the sound of the ocean waves. Mambrui is dotted by baobab trees and winds down to the Sabaki river where the hippos emerge from at dusk.

The sand at Mambrui is believed to have tiny deposits of minerals hence giving it a sparkly and glittery appearance on the backdrop of the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.

Aside from the beautiful view of the dunes over the vast distance, you could enjoy a picnic by the ocean.
