Activity: Game walk in the park The Park Where You Walk With The animal; Crescent Island Sanctuary;is only one. Located on Lake Naivasha, Kenya in the Great Rift Valley. It is simply one of the mostbeautiful parks in Kenya, often called Naivasha best kept secret. It is private, secure and patrolled by Guides who can accompany anyone who wishes for a guided walk.Surroundedby water, it is actually a peninsula and is accessible by boat from East or West as well as by road, taking under two hours on tarmac from Nairobi. Crescent Island Game Sanctuary shores host abundant birdlife, especially huge numbers of pelicans, cormorants and fish-eagles with their haunting cry. There are more animals per acre than any other Kenyan Park; hence many film companies have been to the Island to film the herds ofWildebeest, Waterbuck, Zebra and Gazelle. We are not fenced to allow the wildlife on the mainland to come in as they lose their habitat to development and the ever increasing population. Hippo graze all over us at night then sleep under the acacia or rest in the water by day. The giraffes who were born on the Island return to give birth; sometimes you see three generations at a time. Hyena come to hunt at night but are not resident on the island, the many python that do live here can be seen occasionally with a kill.Groups of Buffalo come and go but they are always monitored. From the top of the hill there is a 360degree view across the Lake from Longonot to HellGate to the Mau Escapement to Eburu and onto theAberdares. Walking along the ridge in the golden hour before sunset whilst watching the animals grazing with the water shimmering beyond, is what Africa is all about. Dinner at the camp or Lodge.
