The **Voi River**[1] (**Goshi River**[2]) is a river in [Coast Province](/source/Coast_Province), Kenya, East Africa. It originates in the Taita Hills and flows past the town of [Voi](/source/Voi) and through the [Tsavo East National Park](/source/Tsavo_East_National_Park) before emptying into the sea at [Kilifi](/source/Kilifi).[3] Its total length is about 210 kilometres (130 mi). However, in the dry season only the last (lower) eighty kilometres have water in it.

## Aruba Dam

Aruba Dam was built in 1952 across the Voi River. The [reservoir](/source/Reservoir_(water)) created by the dam attracts many animals and water birds.[4]

## Mouth

At the mouth of the Voi, the river flows into the Goshi Estuary. The Goshi Estuary flows into a narrow neck where there is a [bridge](/source/Kilifi_Bridge) between the Shauri Moyo beach and Kilifi.[5] The neck is known as Kilifi Creek and is about 3 kilometres (1.86 mi) long between the estuary and the sea.
