Lake Naivasha: Walking Safari on Crescent Island
Lake Naivasha: Walking Safari on Crescent Island
As part of our Kenya safari trip, we were able to visit Lake Naivasha. Our favorite part is the walking safari on Crescent Island as it's good to have a break from the long game drives. We were able to see Giraffes upclose, unfenced along with other wildlife. It's such a serene place and if we didn't have an itinerary to follow, we would have preferred to spend the day, spread out a blanket and enjoy a nice book! This is also apparently one of the the locations for the famous classic movie, Out of Africa! Definitely worth a visit!
About Lake Naivasha
An ultimate tourist destination, Lake Naivasha is part of the great rift valley located northwest of Nakuru county, Kenya. It towers at an elevation of about 1890 meters, and is bordered by acacia woodlands, papyrus swamps, forest, and spectacular geological features which are reminiscent of the area’s volcanic past. Lake Naivasha is a RAMSAR site and there are over 450 distinct avian species, all of which depends on the lake for survival. The lake is also is a drinking hole for zebras, buffaloes, waterbucks, impalas, and other grazers. You can also spot a sizeable population of hippos cooling off in the freshwater during the day. Due to the occasional rising high waves of the lake, the Maasai people, who are occupants of this territory christened the Lake ‘Naiposha’ meaning ‘rough waters’.

ABERDARE NATIONAL PARK
The park was created in 1950 with an area of 584 square kilometers, afterwards enlarged to 770 square kilometers, making it the third largest park in Kenya.
The park is the highest in Africa. The highest peaks of the mountain range are the Kinangop, with 3,906 m, and Oldonyo Lesatima with 4,001 m altitude. Most of the landscape is made up of a wet rainforest shrouded in mist, which gives it an air of enchanted forest. The trout thrive in mountain streams, which plummet in spectacular waterfalls, as Karuru 270 m and 240 m Gura in the southern area, or the Chania Falls in the central sector of the park.
Aberdare contains a geography rich in flora, which by its altitude is a mixture of tropical exuberance and mountain vegetation. Above 2,000 m, the rainforest gives way to bamboo forests, which from 3,000 m become mountain meadows in the growing ragwort and giant lobelia, reaching great heights.
Undoubtedly, Aberdare National Park will be waiting for those who enjoy the most pristine corners throughout Kenya.

- About 2,000 African elephants.

LAKE NAIVASHA
This freshwater lake is circular and shallow. It sits in the highest elevation of Rift Valley at 1884 m above sea level in a complex geological combination of volcanic rocks and sedimentary deposits from a large old Lake of the Pleistocene era. The Lake is fed mainly by the mouth of the Malewa and Gilgil rivers on its north shore. Drains are not known so it is possible that the water keeps fresh because of an underground sump that reaches the Lake Magadi.
It lies 85 km northwest of Nairobi. Among those lakes in the Great Rift Valley, nature enthusiasts will particularly appreciate the Lake Naivasha; with a surface area which varies from 114 km² in dry season, to 991 km² in rainy season, is a real ornithological paradise. Naivasha and its “Crescent Island” (a small crescent-shaped peninsula), are a sanctuary for birds and home to hundreds of species, among which the most famous are: ibis, herons and weavers.
You can also attend breathtaking scenes of fishing with fish eagle. The lake is surrounded by an abundant vegetation (forests of acacias) where many other species have found an ideal environment, as it is the case of giraffes, buffaloes, monkeys and hippos.
Attractions
• Forests of acacias.
• 340 species of birds.
• Hippos, buffaloes, antelopes, zebras, giraffes, vervet monkeys, other herbivores.
• Cliff vultures, lammergeier.
• Green Crater lake.

Game Drive in Samburu Park, Kenya
Samburu Park was the first park we visited, so that was where we saw the most new animals. The park has tons of dik-diks and more gerenuks than we saw elsewhere. It was also the only place where we saw Grevy's Zebra or Reticulated Giraffe. A superb place, and the Samburu Intrepids lodge was wonderful as well. Much thanks to Benson, our fantastic driver and guide.

Samburu National Reserve is blessed with the most huge Elephants in Northern Kenya. Victoria safaris visits Samburu and Lake Turkana. For Budget Camping Safaris to Lake Turkana and Samburu, contact Victoria Safaris.
