Lake Naivasha Crescent Camp

The rooms (tents) are very dated, creaking floors, dim lights and got very cold with inadequate blankets/duvets. They do provide hot water bottle but those are inadequate and lose heat very quickly. Some tents especially 4 to 7 are next to the public beach where noise and loud music went on through Saturday afternoon until after 2am and then street dogs barked incessantly through and the night. The Camp should not be allocating those rooms to the guests knowing that they are noisy through the night. I can safely say that it was amongst my worst stays away from home! The food was okay and service acceptable.

We just went for the boat ride & lunch. Amazing view from the boat ride. Our Capital knew so much about the birds. Lunch was great too. Staff were so nice🙂

Great location for both Safari on Lake Naivasha, the hotel itself is very dated and could do with a renovation, but it’s adequate for a one or two nights stay for a weekend getaway from nairobi

Nice place to explore. An island in the middle of Lake Naivasha. You’ll need boat transfers and views especially that of Mt.Longonot are stunning!!

We came for a serene boat ride across the peaceful waters of Lake Naivasha. What we got was a full-blown aquatic safari-meets-comedy special, courtesy of our guide Isaac—who, based on his vibe, storytelling, and enthusiastic bird misidentifications, was either drunk… or just spiritually free. Either way, it was magical. Isaac greeted us like we were old friends at a family reunion he didn’t RSVP for. He confidently introduced every animal, even when they weren’t there. “Look, that’s a fish eagle!” he’d yell, pointing at a passing plastic bag. “Very rare.” Was it confusing? Yes. Was it entertaining? Absolutely. As we skimmed across the water, hippos popped up like deranged pool noodles, staring at us like we were the ones invading their lake—which, fair. Isaac assured us they were “relaxed today,” which I now understand is boat-speak for “hold very still and don’t make eye contact.” At one point, he stood up dramatically, pointed toward the horizon and declared, “That… is Uganda!” Spoiler: it was a clump of reeds about 40 feet away. We clapped anyway. Respect. But all jokes aside, it was incredible. Pelicans flew overhead. The lake sparkled. Waterbucks stared at us from the shore like confused Disney extras. And somehow, amidst all the chaos, Isaac navigated the boat like a pro, cracked jokes like a stand-up veteran, and gave us a ride we’ll talk about forever. 10/10 would get on that sketchy wooden boat with our slightly-sloshed safari savant again.

We didn't stay at the lodge instead went for a day trip. Recommend an stay definitely instead of a day ride.

We had a fantastic experience at Lake Naivasha Crescent Camp! After an hour-long boat ride, we stopped here for lunch, and it was the perfect spot to relax. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by lush greenery and a peaceful atmosphere by the lake. The food was delicious, fresh, and exactly what we needed after the boat ride. The staff were welcoming and attentive, making sure everything was just right. It was the perfect combination of great food, stunning views, and excellent service. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Lake Naivasha.

It’s really not a luxury camp, if you’re looking for barebones inexpensive accommodation it will work, but other than that the staff was rude at times, crowded pool leaves much to be desired with dirty chairs and no towels, only saving grace is the location to crescent island. I would skip, we also stayed over Christmas and the hotel blasted loud annoying music all day, and the next door park blasted music extremely loud all night partying, so I would definitely avoid that time.
