Destination overview
Why visit Crescent Island
Crescent Island is a peaceful walking-safari sanctuary on Lake Naivasha where travellers can explore on foot among giraffes, zebras, antelopes and lake birdlife. It is intimate, gentle and highly accessible, making it a strong soft-adventure stop for families, honeymooners and travellers who want a break from vehicle-based safari.
The destination’s strongest attractions include Guided walking safari among plains game, Lake Naivasha views and picnic settings, Giraffe, zebra, waterbuck and gazelle sightings, Close birding opportunities on the lakeshore, and Easy boat access from lakeside lodges. Travellers can experience Boat transfer across Lake Naivasha, Guided nature walk on the island, Picnic lunch or relaxed lakeside photography, and Family-friendly soft adventure, with the programme shaped around the season, lodge location, access route and client pace.
For FIT design, Crescent Island works best as a 1-night component within a tailor-made Kenya itinerary. It combines naturally with Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru National Park, Nairobi, and Masai Mara National Reserve. Common sightings include giraffes, zebras, waterbucks, gazelles, wildebeest, hippos in surrounding waters and abundant waterbirds; dangerous predators are not the focus here.
