Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Lake Naivasha, Naivasha Road Nakuru County, 20117 Kenya
Lake Naivasha full day tour departs Nairobi after breakfast and the journey takes you Northwest of the city of Nairobi to the Great Rift Valley Floor. Along the way you make a special stop at a viewpoint to enjoy views of the Great Rift Valley Escarpment. There is just one “Crescent Island Game Park”. Located on Lake Naivasha, Kenya in the Great Rift Valley. It is simply one of the most beautiful parks in Kenya, often called Naivasha’s best kept secret. It is private, secure and patrolled by guides who can accompany anyone who wishes a for guided walk.
The shores host abundant bird life especially huge numbers of pelicans, cormorants and fish-eagles with their haunting cry. There are more animals per acre than any other Kenyan Park, hence many film companies have been to the Island to film the herds of Wildebeests, Waterbuck, Zebra and Gazelle. We are not fenced to allow the wildlife on the mainland to come in as they lose their habitat to development and the ever increasing population. Hippo graze all over us at night then sleep under the acacia or rest in the water by day. The giraffe who were born on the island return to give birth; sometimes you see three generations at a time.
Duration: 7 hours

Simon was my tour guide - he was amazing! Simon explained the Great Rift Valley to me, while I took in the absolutely amazing views! He took great pictures of me and I really appreciated it. While driving to Lake Naivasha, he shared so much information with me about Kenya, her people, their history and the land! He's very knowledgeable. I was able to see baboons along the road and he answered every question I asked. Upon arriving at Lake Naivasha, he handed me over to Captain Martin! He took me on Lake Naivasha and he was amazing! He shared so much knowledge about the many different bird species! He was able to get an eagle to grab a fish off the water! I saw some hippos in the water! I spotted monkeys, zebras, giraffes, and several other animals while taking a relaxing boat ride! I had the oppportunity to visit Crescent Island but I chose not to because I really enjoyed being on the water with Martin! This tour is worth taking! If you want to experience Lake Naivasha, you have to book this tour with Simon!Heather_F

I had a great time on this day trip. Lake Naivasha is a very nice peaceful lake away from the city, and Crescent Island is FULL of beautiful wild animals that you can just walk right up to in some cases. I had a blast exploring the island all by myself with the animals after getting dropped off via boat. It was the closest I’ve been to zebras and giraffes (100% wild, just hanging out in nature!). Truly a one-of-a-kind experience, maybe even more memorable than the safari I did in Nairobi National Park. I am so glad I went! Be aware though, that the Viator tour price is ONLY for the ride to Lake Naivasha from Nairobi and back. Once you get there you have to pay for the boat (I paid 4,500 Kenya shillings for the boat), and then pay again on Crescent Island to explore and see everything you came there to see (I paid another 3,500). I personally thought it was worth it because I had such a great day. Happy travels!Carolina_S

I would repeat any time. Thank you!Nerica C

The best thing about this trip is the driver name Simon. He is a real genuine human being. The owner of this company is a real rip off for one they did not inform me that on top of the 140 usd there was a 30 usd for the island plus another 30 usd to go view the animals. So this trip is actually...
The best thing about this trip is the driver name Simon. He is a real genuine human being. The owner of this company is a real rip off for one they did not inform me that on top of the 140 usd there was a 30 usd for the island plus another 30 usd to go view the animals. So this trip is actually 210 usd Be careful when purchasing this trip. There are far more better trips that are cheaper.
