Crescent Island, situated in Lake Naivasha, provides a distinctive chance to experience a walking safari. The island was originally populated with animals for a film shoot, and these animals stayed behind, leading to a significant increase in their numbers, including various species such as zebras, giraffes, and wildebeests.
To reach Crescent Island, you must first arrive at Lake Naivasha, which is a stunning destination in itself. There are numerous birds to observe and plenty of hippos to view. From that point, you’ll need to arrange for the walking safari and have a guide accompany you. You will travel by boat to Crescent Island, along with your assigned ranger, to commence the safari.
The hippos enjoy relaxing at the island’s edge, along with the waterbucks. The island’s beauty makes walking around quite enjoyable. Seeing the giraffes up close, without the barrier of a safari vehicle, is particularly stunning. The walking safari lasts between 2 to 3 hours and offers a wonderful opportunity to discover the small island and observe the typically shy animals that tend to flee at the sight of humans. However, here, free from predators, they have become more daring. The rangers also serve as guides, sharing valuable information and interesting facts about the area.
A walking safari at Crescent Island and Lake Naivasha offers an unforgettable adventure that should not be overlooked.
