1 Day Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha & Crescent Island Kenya Safari
Your day begins early with a 6:00 AM pick-up from your Nairobi hotel or the airport by Jadi Safaris, your trusted Kenya safari expert. Travel comfortably in a private 4x4 pop-top safari vehicle as you journey through the scenic Great Rift Valley, with a short stop at a viewpoint to admire and photograph the breathtaking escarpment stretching far below.
Arriving at Lake Nakuru National Park around mid-morning, you’ll embark on your first game drive through one of Kenya’s most picturesque parks. Known as the “pink lake” for its once vast flocks of flamingos, Lake Nakuru still dazzles with its birdlife and vibrant landscapes. The park is also home to endangered black and white rhinos, lions, buffalos, zebras, and Rothschild’s giraffes a perfect combination of wildlife and scenic beauty. With Jadi Safaris, you’ll explore both the lakeside and the acacia woodland, enjoying close encounters with animals in their natural habitat.
After your morning game drive, enjoy a delicious buffet lunch at a lodge or restaurant overlooking Lake Naivasha, surrounded by the calm sounds of nature. Then, take a relaxing boat ride on Lake Naivasha, gliding over the still waters as you watch hippos wallow lazily and listen to the calls of African fish eagles echoing across the lake. The lake’s shimmering surface, framed by acacia trees and gentle hills, makes it a perfect spot for photography and peaceful reflection.
Your adventure continues to the Crescent Island Game Sanctuary, one of Kenya’s most unique and tranquil experiences. Accessible by boat, this private sanctuary allows you to walk among wild animals such as zebras, giraffes, antelopes, and wildebeest all roaming freely without predators. It’s a rare opportunity to experience wildlife up close on foot, guided by local experts who share fascinating stories about the island’s ecosystem and history.
By late afternoon, you’ll begin your return journey to Nairobi, driving through the scenic Rift Valley as the sun sets over the horizon. You’ll arrive back at your hotel or the airport around 6:30 PM, ending your day with unforgettable memories of Kenya’s lakes, wildlife, and landscapes all experienced in a single, adventure-filled day with Jadi Safaris.
