Full Day Crescent Island Experience

Overview of Crescent Island

Welcome to Crescent Island Game Sanctuary, a wildlife wonderland nestled on the eastern flank of Lake Naivasha. As you embark on this extraordinary journey, be prepared to encounter an array of majestic creatures including giraffes, waterbucks, elands, wildebeests, zebras, impalas and hippos that call this sanctuary their home.

For avid bird watchers and ornithologists alike, the island is a paradise teeming with diverse avian species such as fish eagles with their iconic calls, ospreys gliding gracefully through the skies and charming lily-trotters elegantly wading in the waters.

Our vibrant shores are alive with the fluttering wings of pelicans and cormorants while occasionally graced by film crews eager to capture our dense populations of Wildebeest herds mingling freely alongside Waterbuck, Zebra and Gazelle; truly a spectacle like no other in Kenya’s parks.

Recognizing its role as an ecological corridor for mainland wildlife displaced by burgeoning development pressures and population growth—Crescent Island remains un fenced allowing natural movements unhindered across borders ensuring harmonious coexistence between man-made progressions without interrupting nature’s intrinsic order—a testament perhaps epitomised by nocturnal visits from hunting hyenas juxtaposed seamlessly against laid back daytime, where pythons bask post-feast under sun-dappled shades beside grazing buffalo monitored vigilantly throughout transient stays across pristine landscapes wherein serene memories beckon your arrival today!
