Tour Plan

Embark on a full-day tour from Nairobi to Crescent Island, a wildlife sanctuary located on Lake Naivasha. Enjoy a boat ride to the island, and spot hippos, giraffes, hyenas, pythons, and buffaloes.

Start your day of adventure with a pickup from your accommodation in Nairobi. After a short meet and greet with your friendly and professional driver, set off for Crescent Island, stopping at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint along the way for some amazing holiday pictures.

Later, proceed to the speedboat that will ferry you to the island. Along the way, witness thousands of birds, animals grazing by the banks of the lake, and the snoring heads of huge hippopotamus.

Be accompanied for the duration of this trip with a knowledgeable guide who will lead you through the vegetation. After your 30-minute animal watching spectacle, arrive at the island and enjoy a welcoming from your friendly guides.

Be led through the island and shown an abundance of animals and vegetation. From the top of the hill, enjoy a 360-degree view across the Lake from Longonot to Hell’s Gate.

This location boasts more animals per acre than any other Kenyan Park. The park is not fenced to allow the wildlife on the mainland to come in as they lose their habitat to development and the ever-increasing population.

Throughout your day, spot hippos grazing and sleeping, giraffes and their young ones, hyenas that appear at night to hunt, many pythons, and groups of buffaloes. Stop and enjoy lunch with amazing views in the park.

After spending some time on the island, your boat will pick you up once again and take you back, setting off for Nairobi with lots of memories.

    We appreciated the chance to escape the hustle of Nairobi and explore the captivating wildlife on Crescent Island. The boat ride across Lake Naivasha was breathtaking, and seeing giraffes and zebras up close added a unique thrill to our day; however, a bit more time on the island would have been ideal for leisurely exploration.

    Our family had an incredible time exploring Crescent Island, where we were able to see giraffes, zebras, and various birds up close while walking among the wildlife. The boat ride on Lake Naivasha was a relaxing highlight, allowing us to soak in the stunning scenery and even catch a glimpse of hippos lazily lounging in the water. We appreciated the knowledgeable guide who shared fascinating insights about the ecosystem and the animals we encountered. One small suggestion would be to allow for a bit more free time on the island for wandering and taking photos. Overall, it was a wonderful escape from the hustle of Nairobi, offering a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility.

    Our day trip to the island on Lake Naivasha was the perfect break from business meetings in Nairobi. We were treated to an incredible boat ride, gliding alongside hippos and vibrant birdlife that made the experience unforgettable. The only suggestion for improvement would be to allow a bit more time for wildlife viewing, as we could have happily spent hours soaking in the sights!

    We were captivated by the vibrant wildlife as we strolled across the island, feeling like we were in a real-life documentary. The boat ride was an exhilarating way to appreciate the serene beauty of the lake, although a few more snacks on board would have been a nice touch for our journey.
