Crescent Island Walking Safari

Kenya, Africa

Crescent Island Game Sanctuary, Lake Naivasha offers one of Kenya’s most unique wildlife experiences—guided walking safaris among free-roaming animals. Visitors can explore the sanctuary on foot, spotting giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and diverse birdlife in a safe, open environment. The island also features eco-accommodation options such as Fish Eagle Cottage, Giraffe House, and Hippo House, along with the Island Fever Café for post-safari refreshments. Perfect for day trips or longer stays, Crescent Island is an intimate way to connect with nature and enjoy the unspoiled beauty of Lake Naivasha

For overnight guests, the adventure continues after dark. The sanctuary comes alive with nocturnal wildlife—hippos grazing by the lakeshore, bushbabies leaping through the trees, and elusive genet cats and bat-eared foxes foraging in the night. It’s an immersive experience that reveals the hidden wonders of Naivasha’s ecosystem.
