Its the only paradise where you can walk among the wild
animals. Its a very special place. watch the amazing skills
of the eagles picking fish from the lake as you ride on the
boat and Plenty of Hippos.

Family trip to Massai
The experience with Massai was so amazing we enjoyed the provided information and traditional dancing
The guide Mr. Obed was very gentle and professional and so recommended to have him in other trips .
However, I am really not satisfied with the amount of money , we went to non tourism place in private without services and far away , the weather was so sunny and hot , family start feeling daisy !

Thanks for booking with us. Hope next time the weather will be more conducive.

Great experience but no drinking water provided
The experience was amazing! Crescent Island is a must do for anyone visiting the Nairobi area. My only complaint is that no water was provided and Ben thought it was listed as one of the things that our guide would have for us.
Operator response
Thanks for sharing your feedback. Our kindly apologies for the unavailability of the drinking water.

Great Day at Crescent Island
This was a great adventure for our last day in Nairobi. Obed was our guide and arrived on time with a smile and a handshake. Obed was easy to talk to and was very knowledgeable about the area and all the animals on the island. The drive, the boat ride and the walking safari all went smoothly and we had a fantastic time. The Crescent Island walking safari is a lot less bumpy and slower pace than a jeep safari. I enjoyed both, but if you prefer seeing these beautiful animals upclose and at a relaxing pace, you'll enjoy a Crescent Island safari. The lunch buffet afterwards was very good as well. We'd loved to do another tour with Obed when we return.
