We saw such a wealth of birds and rare wildlife that I would not hesitate to do it again. A beautiful changing landscape of gold to bright green makes this place just magical and it’s wonderful to see such a plethora of animals in one place.
Dennis our guide is quite knowledgeable on the park, he knows all the territories, it really pays to have a local as your guide

Some say baboons are annoying, I say they are just as part of this park as any other animals. True, there are a plethora of these animals (hanging on the side of the road, branches, trees etc.). I still say "oh look, baboons!". They are interesting creatures, from the oldest one to the babies hanging on to their mommies and the ones that are constantly grooming the other one. Just fun to watch them!

Many baboons in our way while in Nakuru Lake. They don’t come closer but will not harm you. Restrictions from our Lodge management to close all windows and doors well, otherwise you may find them next to you

I’m not sure what’s so exciting about these animals. They are everywhere. They are even in lake view estate in Nakuru town. Basically they just annoy people. I can’t remember how many times these annoying animals have taken my hats and food. Go to nakuru to see the cats and don’t waste time on these animals. They also have bad manners if you try to snap a photo.

This is a viewpoint within Lake Nakuru park that overlooks the lake from a height of I guess 300 meters. Superb views - great for taking panoramic photos.

On the floor of the Great Rift Valley lies Lake Nakuru National Park surrounded by wooded and bushy grassland. Plenty of fascinating baboons with their families.

Just watching these creatures in amazing. How they interact with each other, how they ignore other species, and how they look and learn so intensely. I could watch these guys all day.

Yup, God had a good chuckle I am sure when he created the Vervit monkey. They are so-o-o cute, more so than the baby baboons. However the regal posture of the mature male baboons is captivating. The little babies dangling form the mothers or riding bareback on them is very comical as well. Careful at the Baboon Viewpoint, as they will jump into your vehicle quicker than you can bat an eye.

One obvious question: Whoever writes these reviews seems quite keen on baboons and some creatures called 'VERVITS'. Might be helpful to educate the author on proper spelling and the proper name of these lovely creatures.
I have never heard of them being disrespectfully referred to as 'vervits' in over 30yrs visiting this beautiful country.
