Step ashore at Crescent Islandโ€”a peaceful wildlife sanctuary located in the middle of the lakeโ€” and enjoy a guided stroll in search of wildebeest, zebras, and giraffes.
      The name Naivasha comes from the Maasai โ€œNaiโ€™poshaโ€, which means โ€œrough waterโ€, though Lake Naivasha is generally calm as we watch for hippos, crocodiles, and birdlife. Bring your binoculars and scan for lovebirds, ibis, and fish eagles, watch buffaloes wallow in the swamps and listen to colobus monkeys call from the treetops.
