Crescent Island is home to a number of bird species. The Island is also home to a number of wildlife that includes zebras, giraffes, waterbucks and Impalas. Lake Naivasha is a beautiful freshwater lake, fringed by thick papyrus. These forests abound with birdlife. The waters of the lake draw a great range of game to these shores. You may also choose to book a one-hour lake boat safari at an extra cost, during which you can see some of the lake's wildlife, such as hippos, as well as enjoy the picturesque views of the lake and surrounding highland landscapes.

Lake Naivasha - Lake Nakuru National Park

Have a leisurely breakfast at the lodge, then depart for a drive to the nearby Lake Nakuru National Park, one of the several Rift Valley lakes whose ecosystems support a wide range of ecological diversity, with flamingos (greater and lesser) and other waterbirds as the major attractions of the area. The ecosystem supports about 56 species of mammals, including white rhinos and buffaloes, and nearly 450 species of terrestrial birds. The park is truly remarkable, having achieved international fame as an animal sanctuary. Both black and white rhinos are being given a new lease of life in this park.

Check in at the lodge and have lunch. Go for a game drive in the evening, which will include a walk by the shores of the lake to get up close with the many birds found here. This park hosts a variety of wildlife, including all the Big 5 except the elephant.

Exploring the Famous Mara

You’ll enjoy full days exploring this reserve, one of the most iconic wildlife regions in Africa, as much as you want. You’ll have excellent opportunities to spot some of Africa's most notable species such as lions, elephants, giraffes, leopards, cheetahs and many more.

To bring more texture to your experience at the Mara, you may want to take advantage of several optional events we offer at an extra cost. Experience a visit to the local Maasai people in their nearby village. Meet these indigenous people and see up close their ancient way of life and culture. Take a pre-dawn hot-air balloon ride high above the reserve as the morning light breaks across the golden savannah, and witness the herds of wildlife emerging into the day. Your guide can arrange either of these optional excursions to add some truly intimate touches to your Kenya safari experience. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the camp.
