Into the Wild-Lake Naivasha Walking Safari and Boat Boat Adventure

Your safari begins with an exciting start as you're picked up from your Nairobi hotel or the airport and whisked away on a scenic 2-hour drive through the dramatic landscapes of the Great Rift Valley. Upon arrival at Lake Naivasha, step right into the wild with a guided walking safari on Crescent Island. With no predators around, you’ll walk safely among giraffes, zebras, impalas, and waterbucks—an up-close experience that feels like stepping into a nature documentary.

After your walk, you’ll head to your lodge to check in, enjoy a hearty lunch, and take a bit of time to relax in the peaceful setting. But the day isn’t over yet! In the afternoon, glide across the shimmering waters of Lake Naivasha on a boat safari. Watch hippos wallow just feet away, and marvel as fish eagles dive dramatically for their catch. The shoreline comes alive with wildlife, making this a magical way to end your first full safari day. Return to your lodge for dinner and a tranquil evening under the stars.

Over the next three days, you’ll dive deeper into the wonders of the Masai Mara with morning and afternoon game drives that bring you face-to-face with Africa’s most majestic creatures.

Then comes the descent into one of the most remarkable wildlife havens on Earth.
