Introduction

Crescent Island is a unique island in Lake Naivasha where you can walk close to wildlife—strolling among giraffes, zebras and antelopes, a rare and intimate wilderness experience and a vivid sight on the lake. Crescent Island is a beautiful peninsula on Lake Naivasha and a rare Kenyan sanctuary where visitors may leave the vehicle to walk among gentle, non-aggressive herbivores (giraffes, zebras, antelopes, gazelles, wildebeest, warthogs—no lions). You reach the island by boat (or on foot, depending on water level), then walk with a guide among the serene, green isle. The unique joy: gentle wildlife roam right beside you—walk among tall, elegant giraffes, beside herds of zebra and antelope. This close, free, harmonious encounter is beyond any car-window safari—tender and unforgettable. (Walk with a guide, keep a respectful distance, don't chase, disturb or feed; respect the wild and the island.) Exploring Lake Naivasha and walking Crescent Island among close wildlife is a vivid sight.
