Depart from Nairobi in the morning for a scenic drive to Lake Naivasha. Take a boat ride to Crescent Island for a unique walk with the wildlife. You can start your day with bird watching. The island hosts both land and water birds, thanks to the lake. Some of the birds you are bound to see are water eagles, the yellow-billed stork, and the ibis among others. The birds are scenery to behold and their calls are magnificent.

Enjoy a safari on foot with the possibility of spotting giraffes, zebras, dik-diks, wildebeests and impalas, and an array of birds. You can carry a packed lunch and have a picnic on the island. This tour can be done in conjunction with Hell’s Gate National Park or Mt. Longonot National Park.

Crescent Island is the one sanctuary in Kenya with the highest number of animals per acre. Most of the animals here are herbivores such as Giraffes, Zebras, Impalas, and Hippos. The amazing thing is that you get to take a nature walk among these animals without fear of harm or danger.

If you enjoy nature photography, then you will be overwhelmed by the beauty that Crescent Island holds. From small to big animals, birds, the sunset, and the lush green vegetation that covers the space. You are sure to capture moments that are unique to the island.

Finally, you can sit and set up a picnic in one of the many spaces in the sanctuary. Enjoy your snacks and drinks with the sun subtly warming your necks and the gentle but steady breeze keeping you cool. Just make sure that you do not litter the park and stay clear of the places that are out of bounds. You will later drive back to Nairobi with unforgettable memories.
