Excursions
Lake Naivasha is the focus of daily activities. There is fishing for black bass and tilapia, and a boat trip during the day provides a close view of Naivasha’s wide variety of birdlife and its hippo colonies. The club offers a sundowner boat trip which combines the sunset on the Lake with exotic drinks.
Crescent Island, 15 minutes away by boat, is a private game sanctuary, with zebra, wildebeest, gazelle, vervet monkeys, hares, genet cats, waterbuck and giraffe. Crescent Island is one of the few places in Africa where people can wander on foot among herds of antelope since there are no predators on the island. The club will arrange boat trips for a reasonable charge.
Naivasha is also a site for birdwatching, with over 300 species of birds on display: three bird-walks a day have been offered along the grounds of the country club, including early morning bird-walks which are particularly good for rare sightings of birds. They also have a bird sighting book available publicly to record the birds you see.
