Crescent Island Game Park
About
Crescent Island is a game sanctuary located on the eastern side of Lake Naivasha. The Island was formed in 1988 after Lake Naivasha water level dropped significantly allowing Crescent Island to be part of the mainland. The terrain of the Island is plain allowing for easy hiking. A private boat club is also located on the eastern side of the Island.
On Crescent Island, game viewing is pretty easy. You can spot a variety of animals from giraffes, elands, wildebeest, zebras, impalas, etc. There are also several avian species and aquatic habitat. The Lake is home to lots of hippos which can be spotted easily from the island. Some of the birdlife residents at the Crescent Island are the fish eagle, herons, ospreys, black crakes, and lily-trotters. A good number of herbivores and mammals can be found grazing the surrounding areas of the lake. Some of the grazers include zebras, impala, buffalo, kongoni, giraffe and hippos at night.
