HOLLYWOOD Forgot About Them Since 1985 / Crescent Island in Lake Naivasha Kenya

- Giraffes, zebras, impalas, wildebeests and other animals were left behind on an Island after a big Hollywood movie production. This is what it's like 35 years later!
BOOK A VISIT TO CRESCENT ISLAND: viator.tp.st/bdSFdU35
Join us on our first trip to Lake Naivasha, Kenya. A wonderful area where the adventure awaits!
While there, we stayed at the Sopa Lodge Lake Naivasha. We paid Ksh19,000 per night per couple sharing full board (approx. $173 USD). And I have to say, this Lodge was amazing! Much better than what you see online. Great location, nice view of Lake Naivasha, good food and very nice lounge.
Crescent Island, what a unique place to visit. Back in the mid 1980's a big Hollywood production filmed the movie ''Out of Africa'' mainly on that particular Island in Kenya, Africa. For the purpose of the movie, they brought a large amount of animals including lions, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and more to the island. When the movie production was completed, they brought back the lions to the main land but left the rest of the animals on Crescent Island in the middle of Lake Naivasha without any way of leaving and no one have thought of them since the ''Out of Africa'' movie release in December 1985.
Even if this sounds a little sad, those animals are thriving today on the island where they have virtually no predators. (The lion where brought back you remember!) Crescent Island is now a protected island and sanctuary for the animals and a wonderful place to visit for a walking safari.

🚵🏼♀️ Check out our previous adventure! th-cam.com/video/QkFmpkkEoy8/w-d-xo.html
Nowonder Mombasa county is loosing both local and international tourist to Nakuru county.
As i said before: Kenya is the best country in Africa to visit. People are friendly,humble and it is nice to visit all those nice places.
yes they are!
Someone Tell The minister of tourism that.. Dave and Tracey are our unofficial Ambassador.. Honestly You guys are doing A great job... Keep it up
thank you so much!!
Thanks for the wonderful videos of Naivasha. Growing up I used to spend a lot of time there. Fishing is also very good and a great lake to go swimming in, even learned how to windsurf there. One of the few fresh water lakes with no bilharzia in it. Couple of fun facts about Naivasha, is one of the only fresh water lakes in the world that does not have a river running out of it. Usually lakes that do not have a river flowing out, get very alkaline like Magadi or Bogoria. The theory was that the water flows out the bottom and this water is what then powers the fumaroles that come out at Hell's Gate and inside Mount Longonot. Also the part of the lake that is on inside of the crescent side of Crescent Island is actually an extinct volcanic crater. It is much deeper than the rest of the lake and also much colder to swim in. Also, wonderful footage of the Fishing Eagles, did you know that they are identical to the American Bald Eagle, but slightly larger? On one of your excursions you should go hiking around the crater rim of Longonot. Again thanks for the great videos
thanks for sharing so much about lake naivasha.👌👍
thank you so much for the info :)
Actually the bald eagle is on average a little bigger than the fish eagle but smaller than Africa’s largest eagle the martial.
We Kenyans are learning of somethings in our own country that we didn't know of!
@marc bally i have learnt something have been there couple of times but didnt know wat uve shared thanks n im kenyan
Thank you Dave and Tracey for consistent efforts of showing the beauty of my country to the world. For a long long time we have suffered from people who come to Kenya with aim of showing how poor we are - which is not true at all.
There is so much beauty here!!
Surely these adventures will strengthen your marriage. I wish i could do this with the love of my life. It would be epic and you'll create memories that will stay with you for the rest of your lives.
That is the reason why we are vlogging! Ao one day we can look back in those memories. ❤️👌🏼
I love how you advertise My home
I really appreciate that. Thanks!
They are the best soo far
Guys you are our Tourist Ambassador. I would like to petition the department of immigration to extend your stay in Kenya or ven give you a permanent resident.You are more patriotic than some of us!!!
thank you :)
true true
They have resources that many Kenyans don't. I applaud how they promote Kenya. Kenyans are very very patriotic. Wewe waweru wacha siasa.
They are wonderful. They do alot of sacrifices to show their brothers and sisters out there to know the beauty truth about Kenya they don't see on TV.
I grew up in Naivasha, my dad worked in one of the large flower farms but we never bothered to visit that island. Thanks guys for allowing us to visit the island through your 👀
Thats awesome! Those farms are just beautiful!
You guys now know Kenya more than us, the born Kenyans
we love discovering :)
My country is beautiful, proud to be Kenyan😍 🇰🇪
yes it is!!
The umbrella part got me😂😂😂just like Tracy. My best couple ❤️❤️❤️
I was dying hahaha
I love this couple ❤️
Thanks a lot my friend! :)
you served that buffet like a true African man 😂
hahaha perfect
The music was spot on!
Thank you!
wow, this is so beautiful, I can't believe it's Naivasha
It is! ❤️❤️❤️
@@DaveMani Hells gate is where Tomb Raider movie was shot
Lake Naivasha is a fresh water lake. I went to school around there. We used to catch fish and roast them. Great memories. Thanks guys and keep enjoying yourselves.
where did you school my friend
Its a beautiful area! :)
This so impressive need a good vacation, will suffice 🙂. Kenya is the leading exporter of flowers in the world if not top 3.
Kenya is the 4th largest worldwide behind Netherlands, Columbia and Ecuador.
@@ladysafari01 ooh ok, maybe Africa .
@@ladysafari01 kenya exports to Netherlands too.
I was wondering that! Thanks for the info :)
Thats amazing! We saw so many flower farms! 👍🏼
Thank you guys for this amazing clip, I actually grew up in bush island, just the before you get to crescent island, my mum used to work for Jack couffer, he was a film director and a photographer.
I would Love to request a favour from you, in early 90s there was film that was shot in crescent island, my mum and other long gone folks featured in it including me but I was soo young and I can vividly remember what was going on. My request is if you can try to find out which movie was that and you can share it with me, I don’t have any visual memories of my mum and if I can see her through that movie I will appreciate it soo much, she passed on while I was still a very young boy.
Another awesome video guys. Brings back memories of our trip in 2008 and we had high tea outside on the lawn at Elsamere the Adamsons retirement home. It was amazing and the fish eagles beautiful. The Adamsons did the born free film with Elsa the Lion. Thankyou so much for the memories love it. Keep up the fantastic work. You have the best channel on you tube and deserve all the success it brings in the future.
thank you so much!!
I can't have enough of your Vlogs. They are so entertaining! Good Kenyan ambassadors and beautiful couple.
thank you so much!
You fit so well in Kenya and accommodate it's imperfections and that makes you best to watch
I really appreciate that! :)
Dave and Tracey ..I looove Naivasha and it was good seeing a video of you guys there♥️♥️
we really enjoyed it!
Wooowww! How is to be in paradise??? Love you! Alice from Italy
thank you :)
Kenya has the most interesting tourist attractions......Thanks, Dave Mani and Tracy For showing us What we didn't see
absolutely!
Amazing place as always
Thanks! Such a unique island :)
I like to visit africa .Africa is different it's natural everything i love it
it is worth the trip!
I love Sopa Lodges. The L. Naivasha and L. Nakuru are my favourites. Great views, great rooms and great staff and though it's been a while since I have been back, their rates then were very affordable. Great to see that you visited them.
they are really good!
@@DaveMani Yes they are and it seems like their rates have remained pretty much the same, based on what you mentioned at the end of the video. We paid Ksh.18k for two full board back in 2014 December.
I didn't take a lot of videos then but I took a couple of amateur photos and will try putting it together as a slideshow video for both Naivasha and Nakuru. I agree their marketing team needs to improve a lot.
Thanks for your continued effort to explore and showcase our great country.
Dave is very funny 😂😂
This is the coolest video have seen so far 😁😁
yes he is!
You guys are awesome. I'm from Kenya but live in Canada 🇨🇦.

Nice to see you guys made a trip to Naivasha. We were there with my family in December and we really had a good time. We woke up to see the hippos they were right outside the lodge but we were peeping from our rooms. Naivasha is beautiful, i really enjoyed being around nature. I would go back there again and again. Enjoy❤
Sounds great!
