Crescent Island Game Sanctuary

The Crescent Island Game Sanctuary is one of Kenya’s most picturesque reserves and is frequently referred to as Naivasha’s best-kept secret. Surrounded by water, the peninsula-shaped sanctuary is presently only reachable by boat from either the East or West side. Lake Naivasha has made a name for itself as a fantastic tourist location thanks to its abundant biodiversity. There are a variety of activities available at Crescent Island Game Sanctuary, including boat rides, bird viewing, climbing dormant volcanoes, walking with wild animals, and taking in the breathtaking landscape.

Crescent Island is rich in animal and plant life. You will find something to interest you whether you are an avid animal, bird, or plant lover or just an intrigued novice. Crescent Island Game Sanctuary is home to a variety of bird species that roam between the lake and the island, including the fish eagle, herons, black crakes, cranes, pelicans, ospreys, and others.
