About Crescent Island
Crescent Island is Naivasha's best-kept secret: a small private sanctuary accessible by boat or road that lets you experience wildlife up close in their natural habitat.
Unlike traditional safari parks, Crescent Island allows walking safaris—giving you an immersive experience that's rare and unforgettable. It's quiet, safe, and perfect for couples, families, and wildlife enthusiasts. The flat terrain and lack of predators make it an easy walk, even for young children or seniors.
