Crescent Island Wildlife Sanctuary

The protruding rim of a collapsed volcanic crater forms this island on the eastern side of Lake Naivasha. It’s now the private Crescent Island Wildlife Sanctuary, where you can walk beneath yellow barked acacias (known as yellow fever trees) in search of giraffes, Thomson’s and Grant’s gazelles, elands, waterbucks and countless bird species. Oh, and just to let you know, there are some rather gigantic pythons too!
