Crescent Island Game Park - A day trip to Crescent Island, including a boat ride from Nairobi, usually starts with a hotel pickup around 7:00 am. This is followed by a picturesque drive northwest through the Great Rift Valley, with a short stop at a viewpoint for photos. After traveling for about 1.5 to 2 hours, visitors reach Lake Naivasha, where they board a small motorized boat for a guided cruise on the tranquil freshwater lake. During the boat ride, there is a chance to see hippos near the shore and a variety of bird species, such as African fish eagles and cormorants. The boat then transports visitors to Crescent Island, a private sanctuary renowned for its serene walking safaris.
Upon arrival on the island, guests embark on a guided walking tour lasting approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, wandering through open grasslands alongside freely roaming wildlife like giraffes, zebras, impalas, and wildebeests. The guide provides insights into the animals, bird species, and the local ecosystem.
