Flora and Fauna of Mkoma Bay

 

Flora

Palm trees line the coast and at the Lodge we have both landscaped gardens and “wild” areas which include several species of hibiscus, bananas, and palms. There is an abundance of mango trees that are favorites of the Vervet Monkeys!

Fauna

Vervet Monkeys inhabit the trees throughout the camp and in the evenings, you can hear the calls of Bush Babies. For bird enthusiasts, numerous species of birds are commonly seen such as Pied and Mangrove Kingfishers, Terns, Palm Nut Vultures, Kites, and Fish Eagles.

Marine Life

The marine life around Mkoma Bay abounds in many species of fish such as Red Snapper, Kingfish, and Tuna, and also crab, lobster, octopus, and shrimp. Starfish, shells, and sand dollars can often be found along the beach.
