A typical Lake Naivasha and Crescent Island day tour begins with an early morning departure from Nairobi around 6:30 AM, followed by a scenic drive through the Great Rift Valley with a brief stop at a viewpoint for photos. By mid-morning, you arrive at Lake Naivasha, where you embark on a relaxing boat ride to spot hippos and a wide variety of birdlife, including fish eagles. The journey continues to Crescent Island Game Sanctuary, where you enjoy a guided walking safari among freely roaming animals such as giraffes, zebras, and antelopes, offering a rare up-close wildlife experience on foot. Around early afternoon, you break for lunch at a lakeside restaurant before spending some time at leisure or opting for additional activities like visiting Hell's Gate National Park for cycling or light hiking. In the late afternoon, you depart for Nairobi, arriving back in the early evening after a full day of nature, wildlife, and scenic landscapes.
