Lake Naivasha Boat Ride & Crescent Island Walk

Lake Naivasha, Kenya

Include in my safari All activities

About this experience

A boat ride on freshwater Lake Naivasha offers opportunities to see hippo pods, fish eagles and a wide variety of waterbirds, with papyrus edges and Rift Valley escarpments all around.

Many trips continue to Crescent Island, a private sanctuary where you walk with a guide among giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and antelope. There are no large predators, so you can explore on foot in a way few safari areas allow.
