- 1Crescent Island Game ParkStop: 6 hours - Admission includedThis will be a wonderful day for you. Our driver will pick you early in the morning from your city hotel. After a brief introduction, you will drive for 1.5 hours to Crescent island with a stop at the Great Rift valley view point for photography. A speed boat is waiting for you for ferrying to the island. There are thousands of Birds to watch, animal grazing by the banks of the lake, and snoring heads of huge hippopotamus. The pilot is knowledgeable and acting as your guide in the lake. After 30 minutes of ride, you arrive at the island and welcomed by the friendly guides. They will guide you through the island and show you animals and vegetation. From the top of the hill there is a 360 degree view across the Lake from Longonot to Hell’s Gate to the Mau Escarpement to Eburu and onto the Aberdares. There are more animals per acre than any other Kenyan Park, hence many film companies have been to the Island to film the herds of Wildebeest, Waterbuck, Zebra and Gazelle. We are not fenced to allow the wildlife on the mainland to come in as they lose their habitat to development and the ever increasing population. Hippo graze all over us at night then sleep under the acacia or rest in the water by day. The giraffe who were born on the Island return to give birth; sometimes you see three generations at a time. Hyena come to hunt at night but are not resident on the island, the many python who do live here can be seen occasionally with a kill. Groups of Buffalo come and go but they are always monitored. You will enjoy your packed lunch in the park. After 4 hours in the island, the boat will come to pick you to the main land. You will set off for nairobi with a lot of memories.Read more

- riddumgirl00Awesome time at Nairobi National Park!Lawrence was our guide and did an awesome job. He's very knowledgeable about the animals & landscape. I highly recommend!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Iceberg70400A lifetime memoryWhat an amazing experience! The hotel takes care of all of the arrangements - all you have to do is get yourself to the bush plane check in desk in Entebbe (located at the international airport) and they take care of the rest. The lodge is gorgeous and comfortable plus tucked away into the jungle. The actual gorilla trek is a once in a lifetime experience. I'm 70 but in fairly good shape. Had two porters to help me hike up the mountain to see the gorillas in their nest. Spent an hour with the family of gorillas. My friend who isn't in the best of health was also able to see the gorillas because there is a nest close to town - about a 20 minute walk down the road, so she was able to experience seeing the gorillas in their habitat as well. In fact the gorilla center does a good job making sure all levels of people can experience seeing the gorillas. In my friend's group there was also a woman in a wheelchair and a 90 year old lady who they put in what I call a Cleopatra chair with 4 porters hoisting her up to walk down the road to see the gorillas. Such a wonderful opportunity for everyone. The service and food at the hotel are excellent. They offer other local excursions. We did a local tour to an orphanage, a woman's center that teaches women who have lost their spouses a new skill so they can support themselves plus we watched someone make coffee, banana beer and banana gin. Yes we tasted the gin. Tastes just like moonshine! The only drawback is that it is about an hour drive down a bumpy road from Kihihi airport and the hotel/Bwindi Spend the money and go!
- PrakashIyer201400Wonderfully organized safari by Kenya Bush ExpeditionsAmazing and once in a lifetime experience very lovingly organized by Mr John Mwarra at Kenya Bush Expeditions (+254 702547319). The arrangements were perfect, the stay also decent at various locations , the food was alright too and the safaris were just perfect thanks to our superb guide Mr Joseph (+254 720440467). He took every effort to show us all the animals. Thanks to Joseph, we were able to see 4 of the big 5 on Day 1 itself in Masai Mara and the fifth i.e the Rhino in Nakuru on day 3. Keep up the good work, guys!!! I will be happy to recommend Kenya Bush Expeditions to all my friends and relatives planning safaris in Africa
- timhF7899ZF00Joseph was a great guideWe had a great experience with Joseph our guide on the half day tour. He was polite helpful and knowledgeable. Most noticeable of all though he enjoys his job.
- Claudia A00Great ExpetI had a great time, was picked up on time and the safari was amazing. My tour guide was very knowledgeable
- FrequentTravellerPL00Great trip to Nairobi National ParkHad a wonderful trip to Nairobi National Park. Driver and guide was Tony, he was amazing and did his best to take us to the places where animals are roaming. Deffinitely recommended.
- timoth_es22500Best Safari in my whole lifeHonestly, it was one of the best tour I have ever had in my life. I came only for 2 days and I had the chance to do this tour with Tony Cruise. He was very very interesting, he knows so many thing about all the wild animals of the park. Moreover, he was supposed to come get me at my hotel at 5:30. Guess what ? He was perfectly on time. To be honest, I have done a lot of different tours all around the world and they are not all as ponctual as Tony. I have been able to see all the Kenyan wild animals that people are talking about. Special mention to TONY, he made my day, he was enthusiastic and he gave us energy during this tour !
- alexandracE603GE00So incredible!! Fantastic.This safari was fantastic. Tony Cruize was an incredible guide - he gave lots of information about all of the animals, especially the rhinos. Pick up worked smoothly and the company contacted me to let me know information.
- 805vais00Great half day trip!Tony was a great tour guide! Lots of knowledge about the animals and kept us laughing the whole time. Definitely will use him again next time I visit Kenya!
- 62laureena00Great safari !Julius come to pick us up at the time mentioned but we had to wait a bit in front of the entrance gate because we could only pay by card, so it's better to come with the cash in dollars. We got really lucky and saw zebras, lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, buffalos, antelopes ... all within the first hour ! We had to go to a mall after and Julius was really nice and drop us at home then to the mall.
- nicoletas82800Julius - a perfect guide for the Safari Tour and Giraffe CentreThe experience was both beautiful, and very exciting. Our guide, Julius, was the perfect guide for our group. He was very polite, patient and made our experience a very meaningful one, because he gave us a lot of useful information, explanations and walked us through a very pleasant journey.
- Isaac H00SAFARIExcellent service and excellent wildlife. The park is majestic and full of wildlife. Tony was our guide and he took extra measures to make sure we were safe and comfortable!!! He was also very knowledgeable about all things Africa!!! Would highly recommend this trip to nature lovers!!
- Guide6844075996900Great Safari tour with a great guideAmazing first safari experience. Just be wary that some fees are also asked at the entrance of the National Park. Other than that, 100% recommend. Shoutout to Julius has been devoted to making our day the most enjoyable as possible. Best guide!
- m2dirir00Best tourIt’s was excellent experience, love the driver with his communication skills, Tony cruze. This tour was the best I have experience. The driver make so easy for us to see all the animals. I will give 100% for his service.
- 358zinebn00amazing experience with Tony CruizeIt was amazing experience with Tony Cruize, he came on time, he made sure to show us everything and we seen everything, four male lions and 5 females, me and my husband were soooo happy, thank you Tony for making my dream came through

I was alone with Julius and I really enjoyed the time I spent there with him.
He was very qualified for his job and knew a lot of different things. We have been able during this day to drink Kenyan coffee, buy some Kenyan gifts, do a boat ride on Naivasha Lake and of course to see all the animals of the crescent island.
We could almost touch them, it was a one time experience. It was marvelous. I think I will remember this day my whole life.
Thank you to Julius who has been such a good guide during this day. You can be sure that the next time I come to Keny, I am going on a trip with Kenya Bush Expeditions and with Julius!!
See you soon :)

Booked this tour as side activity (after big national parks) and was positively surprised. Island is very beautiful. You can see various mammals and birds from close distance, zebras and giraffes were the cutest. Whole scenery is very beautiful. Includes short boat ride as well.
Driver/guide Julius was great,.too. Provided a lot of interesting information, took photos of me, gave me enough time on the island and generally was nice.
