A very nice trip with the friendly, careful and knowledgeable driver & guide Sam, who explained lots of what we saw on the island. We saw plenty of animals during our walk, with a group of grazing hippos an extra 'treat'. :) The boat trip could have been a little longer to explore the "end" of the island, and personally I would have happily skipped the lunch-and-souvenir-shop-stop at the end for another hour on this beautiful spot :)
Asante sana we are happy that you enjoyed your day trip.
The experience is above expectations our tour was just perfect we been able to see almost all the animals including hippos and python. Totally recommend this trip but keep in mind that you will be walking a lot

I had a fantastic experience at Crescent Island Walking Safari & Hippo Boat Cruise. The walking safari was peaceful and unique, allowing us to get surprisingly close to animals like giraffes, zebras, and antelopes in their natural environment. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience both fun and informative.
