Lake Naivasha: Walking Safari on Crescent Island

As part of our Kenya safari trip, we were able to visit Lake Naivasha. Our favorite part is the walking safari on Crescent Island as it's good to have a break from the long game drives. We were able to see Giraffes upclose, unfenced along with other wildlife. It's such a serene place and if we didn't have an itinerary to follow, we would have preferred to spend the day, spread out a blanket and enjoy a nice book! This is also apparently one of the the locations for the famous classic movie, Out of Africa! Definitely worth a visit!

About Lake Naivasha
An ultimate tourist destination, Lake Naivasha is part of the great rift valley located northwest of Nakuru county, Kenya. It towers at an elevation of about 1890 meters, and is bordered by acacia woodlands, papyrus swamps, forest, and spectacular geological features which are reminiscent of the area’s volcanic past. Lake Naivasha is a RAMSAR site and there are over 450 distinct avian species, all of which depends on the lake for survival. The lake is also is a drinking hole for zebras, buffaloes, waterbucks, impalas, and other grazers. You can also spot a sizeable population of hippos cooling off in the freshwater during the day. Due to the occasional rising high waves of the lake, the Maasai people, who are occupants of this territory christened the Lake ‘Naiposha’ meaning ‘rough waters’.
