So, at the weekend I went to Lake Naivasha in Kenya. It is a national park and it is beautiful. If you can see from the NASA satellite photo there is a crescent shaped pennisula sticking out into the lake.
This is called Crescent Island. This "island" houses many animals, such as giraffes, wilderbeasts, impalas, hyenas, pythons, and hippos. Amazing!

Apparently, the animals were brought here to film, Out of Africa. They were left here and they have fenced off the end of the pennisula which allows for the animals to move freely around the land.

It was an incredible experience because you can walk around with the animals. Not quite safari. Not a zoo. You are walking around the island and there are four giraffes 500 yards from you. What an experience!!

If you are heading that way, definitely take a trip. The boat ride through hippo infested waters is worth it alone.
