Overview
Swap the rumble of a 4x4 for the gentle lap of water as you glide across the glassy surface of Lake Naivasha, a freshwater jewel cradled in the Great Rift Valley. Pods of hippos surface with resonant snorts, African fish eagles swoop to snatch tilapia from the shallows, and yellow-barked acacia trees frame the papyrus-lined shore. Then step ashore at Crescent Island—a predator-free sanctuary where you can walk within arm's reach of giraffes, zebras, and waterbucks. It is one of the most peaceful and intimate wildlife encounters Kenya has to offer.
Escape the traditional 4x4 safari with a journey by water and foot. Lake Naivasha is a beautiful high-elevation lake fringed by yellow-barked acacia trees. On a private boat safari, you'll glide past families of hippos and see African fish eagles swooping for their catch.
The adventure continues at Crescent Island, a private game sanctuary where you can go on a guided walking safari. With no predators on the island, you can walk within meters of giraffes, zebras, and waterbucks, experiencing the wild from a completely different perspective.
