CRESCENT ISLAND GAME SANCTUARY
A peninsula that is surrounded by Lake Naivasha, boasting great views of nature including that of Mount Longonot. The Island was formed in 1988 after Lake Naivasha water levels dropped significantly allowing Crescent Island to be part of the mainland. The Island is only accessible by boat, the furthest you can get with a vehicle is at The Sanctuary Farm. It is one of the most beautiful parks in Kenya and Naivasha's best-kept secret.The Island hosts abundant wildlife including, giraffes, waterbucks, zebras, wildebeests, elands, impalas, and gazelles. You are likely to spot a flock of birds, especially on Lake Naivasha. The Lake is also home to lots of hippos, which can be spotted easily from the Island and en route to the Island on a motorboat. The hippos come ashore at night to graze and rest in the water during the day. It is among the few destinations in Kenya, that offers you an opportunity to stroll among the wild. You will have picnic lunch at the Island. After the guided tour, you will be picked up from the Island and taken back to the dry land for your departure back to Nairobi.

LAKE NAKURU NATIONAL PARK
One of the most loved and most visited Park in Kenya. It is not hard to figure out why, with a lake that is world famous for being inundated with pink flamingos, so many bird species, flanked by rocky escarpments, pockets of acacia forest, a waterfall, and a cliff (Baboon Cliff – probably inspired the famous "Circle of Life" cliff where Rafiki held up Simba in the movie "Lion King") that has beautiful views of the Park and the Lake. Lake Nakuru National Park provides visitors with images tens of thousands of lesser flamingos forming a pink overlay of life that carpets the Lake Nakuru's water. The Lake has become world famous because of these birds. By the Lake shore there are huge herds of waterbucks, zebras, buffaloes, and endangered Rothschild giraffes and other herbivores like the huge black and white rhinos. Big cats, that is, lions, cheetah and leopards can also be spotted in the park and large sized pythons that inhabit the dense woodlands can often be seen crossing the road or dangling on trees. Be sure to carry a pair of binoculars and a good bird identification book for your unique wildlife and birding experience.
