PARKS AND RESERVES: BONI - DODORI NATIONAL RESERVES: ACCESS
Dodori lies 280 km north of Mombasa. As mentioned above, access by land to any of the two reserves is not recommended for security reasons. Anyway, none of the two reserves may be easily approached by car and the visit requires a 4WD vehicle. There are hardly any roads and the only access is from Lamu, taking the road D568 inland and turning right at Bodhei. This track leads to Kiunga, in the north limit of the Kenyan coast, passing between both reserves. Along the road, at the town of Mangai, a track allows for wildlife observation at both banks of Dodori river. Once in Kiunga, the road to Mkokoni borders the coast and provides access to some waterholes amongst the bush. However, the area is only passable in the dry season.
The easiest access is by sea, specially if you wish to watch the rich sea wildlife at Dodori. You can travel by boat or dhow to Dodori Creek and from there sail the channels and mangroves.
