Crescent Island is a private wildlife sanctuary located on Lake Naivasha in Kenya. Despite its name, it is often connected to the mainland during dry seasons, making it accessible by boat or by foot depending on the water level.

Safe and Intimate Safari Experience:

Wildlife Encounters:

You can expect close-up views of giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, impalas, gazelles, and warthogs. The animals are accustomed to people, allowing for relaxed, respectful interaction and outstanding photo opportunities without the need for a safari vehicle.

Birdwatching and Scenic Beauty:

The island is also a birdwatcher’s haven. Surrounded by the freshwater lake and offering views of Mount Longonot in the distance, it’s home to fish eagles, pelicans, cormorants, and many other bird species that thrive in this rich wetland environment.
