Product Description

Lake Naivasha Crescent Camp is an eco-camp on Moi South Lake Road with about 20 tented rooms, a pool, a restaurant, and views of Lake Naivasha and Mount Longonot, around 90 km from Nairobi.

Lake Naivasha Crescent Camp is a canvas eco-camp on Moi South Lake Road, on the shores of Lake Naivasha in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley. Founded in 2012, the camp has about 20 tented rooms with views over the lake, a restaurant, a bar and an outdoor pool, and it is a relaxed base for boat rides, cycling and wildlife walks.

Why Stay at Lake Naivasha Crescent Camp

Lake Naivasha Crescent Camp is a quieter alternative to the large lakeside resorts, with a small number of tents, a garden setting and an eco-friendly approach. Guests praise the food, the helpful staff and the location, a short distance from Crescent Island Game Sanctuary.

The views reach across the lake towards Mount Longonot, and at about 90 km from Nairobi it works well for weekends and short breaks. It suits couples, small families, birdwatchers, cyclists and groups who prefer a relaxed camp to a big hotel.

Lake Naivasha Crescent Camp Accommodation

Accommodation is in spacious canvas tents with private balconies, lake views and en-suite bathrooms with hot and cold running water. Each tent has a work desk and Wi-Fi, and room options include deluxe queen rooms as well as single, double and triple arrangements.

Evenings by the lake can be cool, so pack a warm layer.

Dining at Lake Naivasha Crescent Camp

The restaurant serves African and international dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the bar is a pleasant spot for a sundowner. The camp uses produce from a nearby farm where possible.

Meal plans differ by rate, so please check what your booking includes.
