We had the boat trip on our safari itinerary and not realising we could visit the island. At the last minute we decided we would enjoy a walk around to stretch our legs and enjoy the animals. During the boat trip we saw lots of hippos, water buck and plenty of birds, including a Fish Eagle. When we landed on the Island our guide was Issac. We were very lucky as Issac was not only a great wealth of information but also very handy with a phone and took some brilliant photos and videos of us with the animals. To see the zebra, giraffes, impalas, wildebeest so close was fantastic, and the added thrill of baby zebra and giraffes made it incredibly special. A very nice couple of hours spent on Lake Naivasha.

We were with a tour group and had taken a lake tour with Lake Naivasha Crescent Camp. Our jon boats pulled up on the shore of Crescent Island, which is a privately owned game sanctuary. There was no dock there so we had to scramble out of the boats, but we were met by guides who helped us disembark and led our group around the island. There are no predators on the island, so they allow visitors to walk among the wildlife on foot (although of course don’t get too close!). We saw impala; defassa waterbuck; Burchell's zebra (subspecies of plains zebra); blue wildebeest; crowned plover; Maasai giraffe. Everybody was getting their photos made with grazing animals behind them. We spent about an hour and a half on the island.

We didnot know what to expect and it was a great surprise. We saw some zebras and girafes (and a new born) less than 10 meters away from us. We also saw some antelopes, eagles and monkeys. The island is nice and the guide took his time to show us lots of stuffs and for us to take pictures. Highly recommand this walk !

It was lovely trip out on the island. Our guide Ryan was excellent. He was very attentive and gave us a lot of information and we got to see alot of the wildlife. We saw giraffes, water bucks, osterich, zebras, gazelles, impalas, hippos, wilder beast and so much more. Beautiful birds and great views of the lake and the mountains. I would definitely recommend the visit.

Crescent Island…symbolic to the Island that is huge with flora, fauna and a place for Omnivorous animals that have harmony & peace to stay together. We reached this place by a speed boat. Breathtaking view of the Navaisha lake surrounded by mountains. We reached this place and met Fred who was our guide to this place. He took us around the island to show Giraffe family, Antelopes, Zebra and many such animals freely moving around. We took several pictures close to these animals. While our return ride was very nice too…as we did bird watching. Hippos relaxing in water. Overall the experience was too good.

Kelvin at Rustic Nature Tours basically insisted we go to Crescent Island while touring Lake Naivasha. Truth be told, I really wanted a nap, but we booked it anyway - so I went with my family. After a boat ride to the jetty you are greeted by a tour guide who takes you on foot through the island reserve. Pretty much first thing as you walk up the hill you encounter water deer... and then zebras. As you walk you realize that the animals are not too fussed to have you among them and can get very, very close. How close? Well, we came within 2-3 feet of the giraffes... and the zebras and water deer. We actually touched the ostriches! This was an amazing 60-90 minute walking tour and well worth the footsteps! (I'm glad I missed my nap!)

We caught a boat to this island. We weren’t too sure if it would be worthwhile as it was on our last day before heading home. However, after catching a boat to then get off on a small jetty (made up of many concrete bags), we were greeted by a very friendly and informative guide who walked us around the island for about one and a half hours. We saw many animals and birds, some up close too, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, owls. We were glad we did it and it was a very pretty walk.

We took a short boat ride to Naivasha’s Crescent Island Game Park. The visit to the island game park was an unique and memorable experience. A breathtaking scenery with views across the beautiful lake and watching on the land animals grazing. The island is home to a wide range of wildlife in their natural habitat. It is an experience to walk in the wild nearby the wild animals and have photo taking with them.
