Lake Naivasha Crescent Camp

Lake Naivasha Crescent Camp is located on the shores of a fresh water lake in Kenya about a 90 minutes leisure drive North West of Nairobi, outside the town of Naivasha along Moi South road.

It is part of the Great Rift Valley. The name derives from the local Masai name Nai'posha, meaning "rough water" because of the sudden storms which can arise. The lake has a surface area of 139 km² and is surrounded by a swamp which covers an area of 64 square km, but this can vary largely depending on rainfall.

Lake Naivasha Crescent Camp is situated at an altitude of 1,884 metres (6,180 feet). The lake has an average depth of 6 meters (20 feet), with the deepest area being at Crescent Island, at a maximum depth of 30 meters (100 feet). Njorowa Gorge used to form the lake's outlet, but it is now high above the lake and forms the entrance to Hell’s Gate National Park.

Lake Naivasha Crescent Camp is constructed using canvas; all tents have en-suit bathrooms with hot and cold running water with flushing toilets. The tents have an ambience and style decorated to give them traditional tent look with all the comforts of a home.

This gives the guest a chance to forget the hustle and bustle of everyday town life and relax in the great landscape sceneries surrounded by the beautiful lake, Mt, Longonot and other ranges at the horizons. There are various activities to keep the guests at bay and these include: water sports, boating, biking, hiking, birding, nature walk, game viewing and others.

Lake Naivasha Crescent Camp has a capacity of 20 luxury tents. The tents have well furnished wooden floor with adequate space generously created to allow free movement inside and outside at the guests comfort.

They blend well and inter mingle with the Yellow/ Green Acacia trees giving the tents a relaxing atmosphere from the calm breeze. The grounds are great for special private functions like weddings and other celebrations.
