Overview

This experience combines a scenic boat ride on Lake Naivasha with a guided walking safari at Crescent Island Sanctuary, offering two unique ways to discover Kenya’s wildlife. On the boat ride, you may spot hippos, African fish eagles, and other water birds while enjoying beautiful views of the Great Rift Valley. At Crescent Island, you will walk among free-roaming giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, gazelles, and waterbucks with a local guide.
